Actually no, they would not. Anthro applies to mostly to mental traits over physical. Otherwise Apes and Monkey's would be Anthro, but they're not.

@BabblingBrooke It was always my understanding that anthro was primarily a physical state midway between a non-primate/human form and a human one, hence the differentiation on this very site of "anthro" and "humanized," the latter being completely or nearly completely human in appearance. This is the first I've ever heard about taking mental capacity into account.

@118

Physical still applies though. It's just linked to mentality.

Like in H.G Wells "The Time Machine" The Time Traveler comes across the remains of the Human race where everyone is no smarter than a cow. While yes, they are Humans in the physical sense, mentally, all that was Human is gone. So they are not really Humans anymore, rather a shadow, not even anthro.
