Books
Ever glanced at your cat and wondered if they were plotting something? Or passed a car and thought it seemed 'friendly', 'surprised' or 'angry' depending on the shape of its headlights? Anthropomorphism - the irresistible desire to apply human characteristics to animals, natural phenomena and even inanimate objects - is as natural as breathing. But it gets weirder. In 'Humanish', Justin Gregg dives into the strange way anthropomorphism shapes our understanding of the world, offering an eye-opening, humorous journey through human perception.
