From the cable-stops on the down-tube and right chainstay, your was originaly a geared version; with a rear coaster brake tab plus rear cantilever bosses.
Kona Humus are awesome: F.A.C.T.
Anyone who thinks otherwise has no appreciation of bike history and the origins of the 3-bar frame design with Schwinn, Elgin, and later Cook Bros BMX & the Marin County mountain bike pioneers etc.
Except there wasn’t a 1993 Humu. The first model year was 1995; Replaced in 1997 with the “Aha”, which had a curved top-tube; Brought back later as the Humu again, but without the “looptail” rear end; the Looptail rear triangle was re-introduced early 2000s; Mid-2000s, the Humu got a kinked (but not curved) top-tube.

Sickest top tube pad ever! But wait you have two top tubes. You should definately rock double tube pads.
