Evolution matters – the anthropomorphism in the world of Narnia

Abstract
The world of Narnia is a high-magic world, characterized by a fauna, composed of both native and introduced animals. A land of magic and wonder indeed, the most characteristic feature of the world of Narnia is the talking, humanized animals. This uncommon quality was largely driven by the modifying effects of the magical energy, to which introduced mammals proved to be especially susceptible. Furthermore, the present study establishes the phylogenetic relation to the extent of magic susceptibility and the first evidence of magi-neuronal congestions.
