关系代词which可以指人吗？

With his disinterested passion for art, he had a real desire to call the attention of the wise to a talent which was in the highest degree original;

but he was too good a journalist to be unaware that the “human interest” would enable him more easily to effect his purpose.

上文，a talent 应该是指有天赋的人，那么为什么后面的定语从句用关系代词which呢？为什么不是用who或that指代呢？

你理解错误。which在定语从句中作主语或宾语，先行词不可以是指人的名词。你的句子中a talent并不是“有天赋的人”，而是“天赋、才能”的意思。

那么，which能不能引导定语从句修饰指人的名词呢？答案是，可以。但只能在非限制性定语从句中作归属性表语时才可以。例如下句：

My brother is a good dancer, which I am not. 先行词为指人的名称，非限制性定语从句，which在从句中作归属性表语。用who为语法错误。
