 While anti-anthropomorphism attempts to avoid the bias of seeing mind when it isn’t there, it risks placing emphasis on another bias that humans are subject to, namely the bias of human exceptionalism. Anthropectomy arises in cases in which humans see their own cognitive capacities as sophisticated, and other species as only having diluted versions of them. For example, it is anthropectic to observe human cultural practices and infer that because other species don’t have opera houses they don’t have culture. When we make self-serving bias errors and assume too quickly that we are better than other people, we get ourselves and other people wrong. Anthropectic thinking extends this bias toward other animals.
