Why Human?

Last night, I was browsing through some art and got to wondering: Why are we always anthropomorphizing stuff?

Example: Anthropomorphizing a wolf to a person. (Which is so overdone, might I say.)

Why can't it be the other way around? There's plenty of human-->animal designing out there but what about human-->object? Talk about design challenge. I've done object-->human for a design class and that's a lot of fun (and a bit hard).

But I guess....who would care what a person looks like as an object?

Which just makes me think of Harry Potter for some reason....
