Nope. Aragorn is a pure-blooded Numenorian, which means he's human but of a very high bloodline whose members are very long-lived. IIRC, The Silmarillion explains how humans originally had lifespans of hundreds of years but over time their lives shortened and became harder. By the time of LOTR, everyone's pretty much a regular human but there are still some scattered descendants of Numenor, like Aragorn, that still have those long lifespans.
