What is a thermal capacity of human body?
It can't be the same as the one of the water and what I realy whant to know is is it biger or smaller than 4186J/kg.

3,470 J/(kg*K)
It is close, but definitely less than for water. You can view human body as water+ some solids(protein, fat, bone). Very few materials come close or exceed water in specific heat capacity, and ones that do are liquids.

If by that, you mean the specific heat capacity of the human body, it would probably be about the same as the specific heat capacity of water (the human body is 70% water) which is about 4200J(kgK)^-1

The interesting thing is that a human body would boil, not freeze in space. The reason for this is the lack of pressure, which lowers the boiling point of water to almost absolute zero.
