What does Anthropomorphism mean?

Post cover: What does Anthropomorphism mean?
This content has been automatically translated from Ukrainian.
Anthropomorphic is a term derived from the Greek words "anthropos" (human) and "morphe" (form) and means giving human traits or characteristics to something that is not human (such as an animal). The simplest example is animals in fairy tales that speak and have human features. We often see anthropomorphism in everyday life, especially in religion, books, internet meme culture, marketing, television, anime, comics, etc.
Even without being limited to animals, anthropomorphism can be seen in inanimate objects that acquire human characteristics (any objects that speak or have other features inherent in humans).
Usually mascots are anthropomorphic animals. There are even separate subcultures based on anthropomorphism, namely fur.
