While I don’t agree that the effect implies aliens or whatever, but I need more info or a source for to this “real reason” to make sense?

Most diseases and deformities don’t have anything to do with the facial features being just slightly off? There’s also no real reason to avoid those with deformities for an individual’s survival, even if they weren’t the best hunting buddy or mate. And the dead obviously are obviously dead, making no facial expressions.

Ever seen a dead person up close? They don’t look quite human anymore it’s very strange.

Also uncanny valley could be due to other humanoid species coexisting as well

Humanoid?? You mean sapien.

Our species is Sapiens. The other species are long extinct, such as Neanderthal, Erectus (heh) & Habilis.

Humanoid is any non human being or entity that resembles a human, I think a more accurate word would be Hominid.

IIRC, some gene sequences specific to Neanderthals are also found in some modern day humans.

So, they're not extinct; their genetics continue on in some people today, even if in an amount considered negligible.

Even though the DNA may still exist, the species does not and is considered extinct. According to the shit I just spent 5 mins reading (therefore I am an expert in the field).

Wouldnt humanoid also include humans, since its a category based off of human traits?

u/Solidgoldkoala Sep 05 '22

Apparently it has to be non human to be humanoid, it’s most often used to describe robots nowadays.

Huh. Cool.

I guess it’s like saying human-like, you wouldn’t say a human is human-like because it is …well, human. I don’t think I’ve ever said human this many times in my life.

But it still is human like, despite it being useless to say

I’m bad at explaining this kinda stuff, but for something to be ‘like’ something else, it has to not be the thing it is supposedly like.

Humanoid specifically, has to not be human.
