Initially, lycanthropy referred to both literal shape-shifting into wolves through magic and a form of mental illness where people believed they were wolves. Over time, explanations for werewolves included conditions like hypertrichosis, drug-induced hallucinations, and diseases like porphyria and rabies, reflecting society's attempt to understand deviant behavior and monstrous transformations. Despite modern scientific explanations, the werewolf remains a powerful symbol in human imagination.
