Definition
The attribution of human characteristics, emotions, or behaviors to non-human entities, especially deities or animals. This includes giving gods human form, personalities, and social relationships.
Etymology
From Greek 'anthropos' (human) and 'morphe' (form). The concept was first critically examined by ancient Greek philosopher Xenophanes, who noted that humans create gods in their own image.
Kelly Says
Xenophanes brilliantly observed that if horses could draw, they'd depict gods as horses—a insight that still challenges us today when we imagine aliens, AI, or even our pets having human-like thoughts and motivations!
