The concept of furries in the original definition of the word has existed with us since before recorded history. Some of the ancient Egyptian gods are a good example of some of the most well-known historical "furries." Being half-wolf, or half-eagle, or half-cat, or whatnot.
The term "furry" dates back to the 70s, early 80s, before which it was predated by "funny animal." The term(s) were usually only used by the people in the genre to begin with, that's why the term wasn't a well-known one until the internet later exploded and people in the genre could reach out and find other fans, and associate in larger numbers, and eventually knowledge started trickling out to the public at large, much of it misinformation and misunderstandings.
What the Fluff?
