Neither. Anubis is a God.
Anubis is the Guardian of the Underworld in the classical Egyptian religion (hey, if Christianity isnt myth then none of them none of them are myth).
He is depicted as jackal/wolf-headed. dogs/jackals/wolves were frequently seen near graves, especially shallow ones.
He weighs the human heart of the deceased against the weight of a feather. If the heart is lighter than the feather the deceased is considered pure of spirit and allowed into the Land of the Dead.
The Land of the Dead is just like the living world and all the dead go about their previous occupations.
Yes. He was/is part jackal part human.

Anubis
Anubis appears as a man with the head of a jackal-like animal. Unlike a real jackal, Anubis' head is black, representing his position as a god of the dead. He is rarely shown fully-human, but he is depicted so in the Temple of Abydos of Rameses II. There is a beautiful statue of him as a full jackal in the tomb of Tutankhamun.
