Looking for media similar to my stories

[Dragonwinged]

I'm in the midst of writing a series of stories I've titled "Deviant". In my series, an elective surgery company has began providing a procedure that alters humans into anthropomorphic animals, known broadly as furinoids. Ten years after their initial procedure, it is revealed that what was thought was only a cosmetic procedure actually involves genetic modification. In other words, the furinoids had actually become part animal.

I'm wondering what genre I'd call this. I have heard of the "first contact" genre, however the problem with first contact stories is that they make a spectacle of the initial contact and don't really delve into the cultural adaptations of humans adapting to living with another sapient species. All other science fiction is usually set 100 years in the future or more, when everyone who remembers a time before the "aliens" have died out. My series primarily focuses on the cultural growing pains that occurs after first contact, the inevitable conflict that happens.

I'm primarily wondering if anyone knows of any series, whether it be books, movies, tv shows or video games that explores similar subject matter. I'll post a link to the collection of stories in the series after being given the approval.

This sounds similar to The Island of Dr. Moreau but not quite.

Well...

I do want to say, it's actually a very common misconception that the general anthropomorphic design that the furry fandom is based around is a somewhat recent one or even an old one. No, anthropomorphic species for us are not old... They're fucking ANCIENT.

See this?

This is the Löwenmensch Figurine. How old do you think this is? ~1,000 years old? Maybe ~3,000?

No, it's ~38,000 years old. There's also ancient cave paintings with anthropomorphic species depicted. All of this is basically arising out of incredibly ancient shamanistic practices where shaman would basically intentionally cause a temporary mental break from reality, whether through drugs, long and intense dancing, ecstasy, or raw pain, and journey into these spirit worlds. So basically, anthropomorphic species' such as this:

are actually as old as the damn hills. And they are (some of) the oldest gods and goddesses known in human history.

But yes, coming back to your question, in this specific instance, I think this may be a trick question because, even if you think these anthropomorphic spirits that have been both seen and worshipped throughout time are just wild and old hallucinations, we still have been "making contact" with these hallucinatory anthropomorphic species' for a long time. A long, long... Long, long time.

Okay, this might be my fault that i poorly phrased my question. I'm looking for stories about two different cultures adapting to live together, whether that's two different ethnic groups ore two co.oletely different species. Namely the period between first contact and total integration of society.

There is Fringe (the TV show). But if you haven't seen it, don't read below since there will be moderate spoilers. It's a really damn good series that I recommend watching all the way through if you haven't yet.

Spoiler

In the middle of the show, it is revealed that a universe very alike our own, but not quite the same, is colliding with our universe and only one universe can remain. What follows is a war in the shadows as the two universes duke it out. They later are able to solve their differences though and are able to fix the problem. But yes, not sure if this is what you're looking for exactly.
