	Therianthropy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At least one key difference seems to be that most therians see this as being part of their nature, rather than a dysfunction or psychological defence mechanism, thus it is often valued rather than hoped to be "cured".
		In some cases, one could probably classify therianthropy as a form of dysmorphia (a non-clinical term meaning a strongly held belief that one is not in the body that one should be in, or a general dissatisfaction with the form or capabilities of one's appearance).
		While some therians feel that their human bodies could be improved by being made more animal-like, their desires in this direction have little to do with the desire to be normal or beautiful that usually characterizes BDD and eating disorders, or the dissatisfaction with a particular appendage that plagues the apotemnophiliac.

	Therian - WikiFur
		Unlike furry lifestylers, therians do not try to outwardly project their animalistic nature, nor do they choose the animal side they are inherently born with.
		Therians may also be called "shifters", though this can be a contentious term as a growing number feel they do not actually change from one state to another and more reflect a human-animal state by having an animal soul and a human body.
		Therians understand their nature as being -human- and -animal- and as thus feel no need to pretend or 'play the role' of the animal, save in some circumstances.

		While a therian is completely human in body and thus cannot physically change into an animal, it is often common to feel other types of shift.
		Mental shifts are times where the therian feels that their mindset and the way they are regarding the world has become very, or even entirely, animal.
		Therians do experience the feeling of living as a part-animal, that much is inescapable, and thus their experiences are valid.

	\|\| The Therian, In Fact and Form \|\|
		Once a therian awakens or comes to knowledge of their animal form, they cannot change or expel that side of them, although the therianthrope can suppress their animal nature, either through conscious effort or ignorance of the nature itself.
		In this shift, a therian will feel or sense parts of their theriotype which are not there, ranging from limbs and ears to tails and even wings.
		As more and more therians awaken to their nature, and are able to find help in others who share that nature, we slowly work our way towards one day finding larger clues and answers to the puzzle which is our condition.

	Digimorph - Vincelestes neuquenianus (fossil therian mammal)
		Although not the direct ancestor of therian mammals, Vincelestes is exceptionally important because it gives us an idea of what the ancestral therian might have looked like, and an indication of when the therians originated and began to diversify.
		The specimen was scanned by Cambria Denison on 02 April 1998 along the coronal axis for a total of 315 slices, each slice 0.21 mm thick, with an interslice spacing of 0.2 mm (for a slice overlap of 0.01 mm).

		This shift is usually described in two different ways.Some Therians experience Sense shifts by suddenly being aware that they are able to see and feel the world around them through the senses of their theriotype.
		This is thought to be closely connected to Bi-Location and Phantom shifting.Shadow shifting is when the Therian produces a ghostly image of their theriotype around themselves.
		The Therian experiencing the shift may also be able to see this 'shadow' around themself with the use of a mirror.

		Many therians keep the mentality of a human all the time and only "mental shift" to their animal once in a while, controlled or not controlled.
		Many therians also have a dual nature down the middle, pretty much feeling themselves to be an animal inside, expressing this often automatically in their behavior, but still being human physically, and to a certain extent, mentally.
		It's not "teaching newbies to be therians", it's giving resources to those who maybe don't know where to start, and giving those who aren't certain a chance to talk to those who know who they are.

	Therianthropy - WikiFur
		Those within this subculture who identify with a spiritual understanding of this phenomenon may believe that they have the spirit or soul, in whole or in part, of a non-human animal, and their beliefs often overlap to some extent with aspects of shamanism or totemism.
		Therianthropes may describe their nature as manifesting in terms of their cognitive processes, their outlook on life, their inner reactions and instincts, their senses, or through their physical body, though claims of actual physical variations from the norm tend to be regarded with skepticism both within and outside the subculture.
		While there is no offline social organization, there exists a community of therians with many diverse outlooks on the concept, including Christians, Pagans, and atheists.

	Therianthrope \| Coyote's Den (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		A therianthrope -or therian- is a person who believes that while they have a human body, some important part of their mind, identity, or spirit is that of a nonhuman animal.
		Generally, therianthropy is shortened, in speaking or writing, to "therian", because it's easier to say, and quicker to type, and "therianthrope" is the more formal term.
		The therian, therianthrope, and were are more or less interchangeable in the community, but there is a shift towards encouraging people to use the term "therian" instead of "were", to avoid confusion with the idea of fictional, mythological, or "hollywood" werewolves.

	Volume 30 No. 2
		One tribosphenic therian, Paleomolops langstoni, new genus and species, cannot be confidently allied with either marsupials or eutherians.
		Although some of the therian taxa of the Terlingua local fauna are tentatively referred to Judithian species known from the central and northern Western Interior, at least half of the species represented are endemic.
		In addition, some taxa typical of Judithian and later faunas from the north are lacking; both the high degree of endemism and these apparent absences are presumably owing to biogeographic differentiation of the terrestrial biota during the Late Cretaceous of North America.

		Almost all therians have some idea of how their animal body feels, perhaps through phantom shifts.
		In this way, the therian can consider these kind of features and how they feel these apply to themselves.
		Using extensive tests of this type with your mind - "trying on" the different ideas to see what feels most natural - it is possible for some therianthropes to identify their phenotype, or narrow down their ideas as to what it might be.

	Evidence for a Paleocene Evolutionary Radiation
		Nonetheless, several recent molecular analyses claim to show that because several interordinal splits occurred during the Cretaceous, a radiation of therian mammals was then underway.
		These new molecular studies purport not just to overthrow traditional higher-order phylogenetic groupings, but to show that a major diversification of therian mammals began much earlier than was previously thought, perhaps even in the early Cretaceous.
		It shows that Cretaceous mammals were taxonomically depauperate and morphologically uniform, and that the most important radiation of therian mammals in their history did occur in the earliest Paleocene.
