Just a fun lil comparison I did, cause I was bored.
Humans:
Body Structure: Has 204 bones.
Hearing: Contain 6 muscles. Ear cannot pick up important high-frequency notes such as the opening of a refrigerator door.
Sight: Have difficulty seeing in the dark. Has tendency to bump into things, including each other. Blink often.
Sense of Smell: Have only 5 to 20 million olfactory cells and rarely use them for purposes of survival.
Muscular Coordination: Poor. Have difficulties climbing up trees and on top of dressers.
Backbone: Limited in flexibility. Most humans have problem touching their toes, and some even bending down to tie their shoelaces.
Coat: Coats worn by humans are kept hanging in closets most of the time. Many are hand-me-downs from other animals; i.e., minks, foxes, sables, etc. Most natural hair growth occurs at the top of the head, but even there, not always.
Voice: Rely on polysyllabic words and sentences to get thoughts across. Raising of voice for sustained periods makes it grow hoarse.
Coloring: Come only in black, white, yellow and red. No patterns.
Life Expectancy: Have only one life.
Cat:
Body Structure: Has 244 bones.
Hearing: Contains 30 muscles. This enables the cat to save energy by turning his ear instead of his entire head toward source of sound. Can pick up important high-frequency notes such as the opening of a refrigerator door.
Sight: Can see in the dark, especially when looking for midnight snack. Can stare for hours without blinking.
Sense of Smell: Has 67 million olfactory cells and can sniff out a tuna fish sandwich several rooms away.
Muscular Coordination: Excellent. Has no difficulties climbing up trees and top of dressers.
Backbone: Able to touch hind legs with the tip of his nose while lying on his back. Tying shoelaces is no problem; most cats prefer to go barefooted anyway.
Coat: most of the body is covered with fur—his own. Cats are able to make theirs stand on end when facing an enemy; this make them look bigger and more important.
Voice: Makes fewer sounds but gets point across just the same. As singers, cats excel. Their voices do not grow hoarse, not even after all-night use. Can make 111 different sounds, where a dog can make only 20.
Coloring: Comes in a variety of colors. Also in stripes, spots, rosettes, rings, and patches. Coloring often blends into the environment for purposes of camouflage; say, the color of the upholstery or wallpaper.
Life Expectancy: Has nine lives.
Humans can invent things that allow us to see atoms as well as stars light-years away, as well as hear things happening on the other side of the world faster than sound can propagate normally. Take that, cats!
And the one life is longer than all nine cat lives put together.

That's pretty much exactly what my fursona is. Though if I were an anthropomorphic animal, that's probably what I'd want to be.
I'd want to be my fursona, definitely.
Nobody could pat you or show affection because they had to worry about the spikes ö.ö
Also, a world where everyone is their fursona would be half-empty(not everyone has one) and quite dangerous, since some furries are dinosaurs n stuff and are not really nice.

Definitely this.
Even if I am not furry myself, I think the world would become a really dangerous place for furries that are not part of a predator race.
Also, it's not likely that becoming an anthro changes evil people to good.
Remember that being in part human means pretty much bad things...
"In nomine Libertatis vincula aedificamus; in nomine Veritatis mendacia efferimus." -Michele Salvemini aka CapaRezza
"Let there be light! That was, uhm... God. I was quoting God."
It would also be pretty much only cosmetic. You wouldn't change peoples' personalities, or any of the bad things about humanity that aren't on the outside.
