There are very few wolfs left on the world, and a TON of humans, so what if the excess of wolf souls gets put into humans, who have way to many bodies for the amount of human souls? Just in interesting theory I thought of to explain otherkins and why so many of them are wolfs.

Sorry for the super long no reply :( I used to like that theory very much myself and hey as a first thought theory it isn’t that bad. It might not add up quite as well in action though. If the theory was to hold true why aren’t there more therians with extinct theriotypes? Shouldn’t the same principles apply? There are more humans in the world now than carrier pigeons. Where are all the carrier pigeon therians then?

The abundance of wolf therians might just be because wolves have had such a close history with humans that we have come to hold such staple stereotypes for them as a species, so when someone who may be a therian has those qualities they are quick to identify as a wolfkin, when really there are hundreds of animals with qualities similar to wolves. Just a contrasting theory for you to consider :) Only real self reflection can help someone who identifies as a therian find their theriotype. It just might be that lots of therians are wolves and that’s the end of it. Thank you so much for the message!
