Like you or me, fudged hard option (10)

I believe the answer is:

anthropoid

'like you or me' is the definition.
(like humans)

'fudged hard option' is the wordplay.
'fudged' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'fudge' mean this).
'hard'+'option'='hardoption'
'hardoption' is an anagram of 'ANTHROPOID'.

(Another definition for anthropoid that I've seen is " Just like a man".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
