The 4 types of anthropomorphism are aware, character, gestural and structural anthropomorphism.
These types of anthropomorphism are useful as a starting point for creation and designed anthropomorphic form.
There are also 4 other main types of anthropomorphism which include symbolic, analogical, metaphorical and literal.
Literal anthropomorphism is when something has either a human form or the behaviors of a human.
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities.
Anthropomorphism is also considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology.
And personification is the related attribution of human form and characteristics to abstract concepts such as nations, emotions, and natural forces, such as seasons and weather.
Both also have ancient roots as storytelling and artistic devices, and most cultures have traditional fables with anthropomorphized animals as characters.
And people have also routinely attributed human emotions and behavioral traits to wild as well as domesticated animals.
An example of anthropomorphism is a human thinking a dog is smiling simply because it is showing his teeth, or a cat mourns for it's dead owner.
The reason why humans anthropomorphize things is because anthropomorphism serves as a bridge between the human experience and the broader world, helping us navigate complex feelings and relationships.
