Sartre distinguishes the human other from all other objects of the world.

Evidence

The radical novelty consists, of course, in singling out the human others from the rest of the actor’s horizon, as units endowed with qualitatively distinct status and capacity. In Sartre, the other turns into alter ego, a fellow-man, a subject like myself, endowed with a subjectivity I can think of solely as a replica of the one I know from my inner experience. An abyss separates alter ego from all other, true or imaginable, objects of the world. — Zygmunt Bauman, Modernity and the Holocaust, 504
