HG Wells makes a chance encounter with a somewhat eccentric scholar in Animist religions and Egyptology in the mid 1890s. As a result, The Island of Dr. Moreau ends on a lighter note, which (possibly along with other changes) results in a bit of a craze in the west. A subculture of "Moreau-ites" (sometimes derided as "Moreau-ons") take on animal characteristics with costume and spiritualism.

This group took on a bit of inertia, eventually rising in prominence so that now, (in 1999,) some 20-30% of society is or has been a Moreau-ite.

Infinity is pretty much whelmed by this -- it's a bit odd, but when you've seen the Earth where everyone turns inside-out at night, the one where lots of people are furries doesn't even register. It's a reasonable enough place to pop over to if you're trying to get some cover for a weird-looking ally, though.
