Is there such a thing called people blindness? basically where you can see everything else apart from human beings?

No: There are brain deficits, agnosias, that involve the inability to recognize objects, smells or sounds. One of these is the inability to recognize faces. You can read about these online. They usually result from a brain injury, stroke or tumor.

Never heard of this: There are many odd types of visual deficiency but this is a new one to me. Love to see a reference to this if you have one.
