Um, no idea what you mean. ๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿ‘ˆ๐Ÿ˜…

The oldest known sculpture is of a furry, and the oldest known cave painted art is furry art. We've been imagining what it's like to not be human for as long as we've been human. Nothing weird about it unless people want to make it weird.

Lion-man - Wikipedia

So a sculpture depicting a feline standing on itโ€™s hind legs which they do when reaching up a tree is a furry to you?
Did you actually look at the image of the sculpture? It's not reaching up. It's just standing.

How about you all answer the question

Wild cats are known to stand for better perspectives when hunting, although rarely caught thats why that sculpture which by the way surely isnโ€™t 40,000 is depicting the rare event. Itโ€™s not a furry lol

You have yet to present a particularly well-formed question for me to answer. You still haven't even clarified your original post's question, what exactly do you mean by people "role playing as animals?"
