Well, it's not exactly an equivalent. Deciding on when it works and when not is often hard for us.
I'd say it like that: "Jesteś człowiekiem!" either is a super Captain-Obvious thing to say, or it sounds like from science-fiction/fantasy. And while Spock or Elrond definitely are persons, they are not human.
Typo: "zwierzę".
Those are interchangeable constructions in such a context (in a "[noun] is [noun]" sentence). It could also be "Koń jest zwierzęciem" and "Pająk to zwierzę".
