For some values of "root"?
I've seen people angry at animals, and anger at even inanimate objects is common enough to be a film trope (eg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E_SDwUM4kM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E_SDwUM4kM ).
(the sentence is ambiguous, but taking the other branch, it's easy enough to find vertebrates angry at each other; as for invertebrates, although we say wasps get angry, it's not so clear)
- danparsonson 3y agoYeah but the root of being angry about an inanimate object is likely not the object itself; likewise for animals. If someone finds themself shouting at the door that just closed in their face, they probably have something deeper going on. Wasps get aggressive but personally I think calling it anger is anthropomorphising a bit :-)
