Anthropomorphism is the attribution of human characteristics to a nonhuman entity. Human beings have been anthropomorphising deities, nonhuman others such as birds, plants and animals and even abstract concepts like nations, natural phenomena. Though this practice has been present for a long time in almost all the fields of study, the anthropocentric attitude behind this ambiguous concept has been contested repeatedly and is charged with negative connotations. The concept of ‘humanimal’ slowly dissolved the line that distinguished the human from its nonhuman other. The posthuman era is in search of the quality that qualifies a human as a human. This paper highlights the similarities and differences between rabbits and humans.
