Furry is a particular experience for an interest group focused on animals with mental and physical human attribute association. The term (and concept) furry only came about in the 1980s and grew as telecommunication and social media became the way for such groups to interact quite effectively. Anthropomorphic fascination though has been around since humanity drew human/animal hybrids on cave walls and later worshipped such creatures.
People in general recognize and accept anthropomorphics. Furries made it a specific interest similar to enjoying 'sports' or being fanatical about it. It exists side by side. Science fiction is well known for the acceptance of animal people. Traveller is one big example in which participants are comfortable with aliens having connections we find familiar rather than just tentacled blobs and ropey masses with no mutual way to interact. You DON'T have to be a furry to accept an uplifted terran lupine, a felinoid of parallel evolution, a race that vaguely fits human mythology or a race with reptilian/avian anatomy as we know it. And the bwaps. Many rightly say they are not furries and go on to play an animal like character anyhow.

I think this may be a two way street, adopting animal emotions, traits and/or intentions, in the furry sense, on a personal level, rather than in times past, as a possible social development, to deal with male adolescents and coming of age, going by a number, of what I assume are theories, relating to prehistoric societies.
