Anthropomorphism is the act of ascribing human characteristics to non-human animals. Since animals are not human they should be studied without comparing the reason for their behavior with a human response.

For example: Your dog shows his teeth and you say, "Look, Barfy is smiling."

Then Barfy bites you...
