One specific question here for those who know the Metroid lore well:

After the events of Metroid Dread, is Samus still technically a human still? Scientifically speaking her body is now more like a Metroid right? Or was it just that she adapted and increased her immunity and strength levels; her ability to adapt to hostile environments as a Metroid would? It seems like she has left the frailty of the human body almost completely behind. Originally human. But what is she classified as now after all these missions and what has happened during them?

I think that the Metroid Fusion/Dread Samus is some sort of Metroid/Human hybrid now. However, Metroid Prime Samus is still a normal human Samus who will somehow lose all her power ups by being bumped on the head at the start of Metroid Prime 4.

I believe she's a hybrid xeno/human now. From a power standpoint I'd say she's on par with a WH40K Custodes.
 
She was originally part Chozo, then got injected with Metroid DNA to fight an ongoing X infection during Fusion. I don't think Dread changed that balance. She was manipulated into having her Metroid side take over, but that was then undone in the end. She's still the same/ish human-chozo-metroid hybrid bound to an X-fused powersuit.
