Paedomorphosis and Anthropomorphism II

I come back to the relation between Paedomorphosis and Anthropomorphism, as I have clarify it. I had questioned myself before days if paedomorposis is a special case of anthropomorpism. Paedomorphosis is a natural phenomenon, which affect the morphology of vital organisms. Antropomorphism is a human attribution to living beings,objects, natural phenomena and abstract concepts with human characteristics. Therefore, it is related with philosophy, religion and even psychology.
The interesting thing is that this two different phenomena have similar morphological expressions. And I assume that it is very hard to difference the one from the other, especially when it comes to product design.
