anthro
People study, briefly
Anthro is informal shorthand for anthropology or anthropomorphic, depending on context.
In academic settings, I'm majoring in anthro refers to the study of human societies and cultures.
In furry fandom and related communities, anthro describes animal characters with human traits—walking upright, speaking, wearing clothes: anthro fox, anthro art.
