The only time I have heard the word anthropomorphic was in a discussion of religion and an anthropomorphic god was one who resembled a human - had a white beard and was sometimes angry or jealous. You couldn't really say global warming was anthropomormphic. TW

You've not read Terry Pratchett's Diskworld then? Death is an "anthropomorphic personification."

Blimey. I read that word pretty often.

It just means 'human shaped'. so you might say that giving animals the same characteristics as humans - emotions, and morals - is anthropomorphic.

Animal rights people and 'moral vegans' are basically all deluded into believing their own anthropomorphism.

Yes. I was just giving one example of where it is used.

I've mainly seen it as attributing human characteristics, such as love, hate, conscience etc.
