The term "anthropoid" has been employed in literature to simultaneously underscore physical resemblance to humans and to invoke broader cultural or scientific commentary. In one example, it is used to describe apes—such as chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans—that exhibit human-like traits, particularly in terms of displacement, suggesting an intrinsic similarity or mimicry of mankind’s characteristics [1]. Conversely, in another literary context, the term appears in a more experimental or satirical framework where even the act of inoculation by Metchnikoff is extended metaphorically to these primates, hinting at an interplay between scientific endeavor and human idiosyncrasy [2]. In both cases, "anthropoid" serves as a bridge between the animal and human worlds, enriching the narrative with layers of meaning that transcend mere taxonomy.
