Therianthropes Possibly 32,000 years old

I'm back on the pursuit of what the origin of half human and half animal beings are called in ancient art. I came across this article in New Scientist which discusses a variety of pieces which date between 10,000 B.C. and 32,000 B.C.

The article uses the term "Therianthrope" which means: "part man and part beast, from the Greek therion, θηρίον, meaning "wild animal" or "beast", and anthrōpos, άνθρωπος, meaning "man") refers to the metamorphosis of humans into animals.[1] Therianthropes have long existed in mythology, appearing in ancient cave drawings[2] such as the Sorcerer at Les Trois Frères."

The challenge I see with this word is that it has the connotation of transformation, metamorphosis or change from one form into another rather than two forms coexisting simualtaneously as in the case of animal headed deities or merfolk, for example.

I believe however, I am getting closer.
