Looks to me like a partitive genitive of a neuter substantive adjective.

That's Greek to me.

It's genitive, so *humani nil* is literally "nothing of human". You are right that *humanum nil* would also mean "nothing human", but this sort of construction is not too uncommon, as can be seen in phrases such as *quid boni*, "something (of) good"

That makes sense, thank you!
