Anthropomorphism Definition
What is anthropomorphism? Here’s a quick and simple definition:
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics, emotions, and behaviors to animals or other non-human things (including objects, plants, and supernatural beings). Some famous examples of anthropomorphism include Winnie the Pooh, the Little Engine that Could, and Simba from the movie The Lion King.
and it is far more than just a "belief" or theory:
