If by "Human" you mean the point at which they switched to orange icons and the Ubuntulooks GTK engine, you're right of course. Those did arrive with 6.06. I'm referring to the overall brown look (wallpaper, default color scheme, etc.) that has indeed been with Ubuntu since its inception with only small tweaks made here and there with each new version. Take a look at Google images for screenshots of the very first Ubuntu release up to the current 7.10 release. You'll be hard pressed to spot anything significantly different by taking just a passing glance. I expect more from Ubuntu, frankly. With another LTS release looming, they've really missed an opportunity to present something truly spectacular on the surface to match the innovation under the hood.
