“Strictly speaking, anthropomorphism refers to the too-easy ascription of human emotions and mental processes to nonhuman animals. …But the term is often used, more loosely, to condemn any suggestion that sophisticated awareness may occur outside our own species. As such, not only does it serve to police the boundaries of orthodox science, it also protects our sense that human beings are uniquely superior. Having defined ourselves as something other than “dumb animals,” we have a lot invested in keeping the animals dumb.”
