The Animan

The link between men and animals are occupied by animen or humals.

Animen fall into one of two categories: An ascending group lead by the centaur; the beast with a strikingly human soul and the descending group led by the minotaur; the human appearance with a soul closely affiliated to the animal.

To the untrained eye, both appear in the garb of the evolutionary niche they are about to abandon. The horse or ascending animan will look like a horse and it takes time and perception to establish its  combined and transitory nature. The same is true for animen that look human. At first the beast is not at all plain to see; several sessions of close interaction, however, will not fail to bring out their deeper nature.

The taxonomy was abandoned due to an either-or principle in science.
