is there a difference between jiný and dalši? or are they just two words for the same concept?

jiný is used more in the meaning of different, else, strange, other etc. while další = next, another, additional, further etc.
Yes, but in this word, it's not a syllable-bearing consonant (it is not a vowel), and it sounds far less evident in czech words than I normally hear it.
Well člověk is masculine but is used for both genres or it is used in general when you speak about human. Člověk literally means human. It is just used in same way english use man or person. You can make feminine form of the word but it is incorect and it just sometimes used in some fairy-tales as i remmember. Feminine form would be člověčice but it is really incorect. Fun fact: There is another word without feminin form. It is "had" (snake) which can have feminin form "hadice" incorectly driven from it but word "hadice" realy means hose. It is even more interesting when you consider that a hose actually look like a snake.
In my experience, most languages other than English have two ways of expressing English's ambiguous "another". Thus, in German, "noch ein Bier" means "another (i.e. a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. hic!) beer", while "ein anderes Bier" means "another beer (i.e. one of a different sort from the beer previously under consideration)". Similarly with French "encore une bière" versus "une autre bière". Does the same thing apply in Czech?
Would "jiný člověk hledám" be correct for "I'm looking for a different person"?

Can someone explain the difference between jiný and další? I kind of get it but also not really.

"human" pro člověka se používá v kontextu, kde je ještě něco jiného než lidé - takže např.:
- ve sci-fi -- There was a Klingon, a Vulcan, and a Human on the bridge.
- ve fantasy -- An elf, a dwarf, and a human walked into a tavern.
Tedy "human" jako podstatné jméno funguje jako rasa. Jinak je "human" přídavné jméno -- "a human being" (lidská bytost)
