What is anthropomorphic imagery? in your opinion, what are two possible purposes for this type of art?

Anthropomorphic imagery is giving a human-like feature or characteristics to something that is inanimate. Personally, I feel it can be like a mirror to how we really feel or serious issues if used correctly (like, I've personally seen a photo healthy apple looking at itself in the mirror because of a thinner apple -- it represented eating disorder and body dysmorphia). Better word would be symbolism. I guess another purpose is that it's easy to make because it's using your household items and giving them 'personalities'.

The period that marks the paleolithic era is between the 250,000 to 10,000 years.
