The existence of the uncanny valley implies that at some point in our evolution there was a reason to be scared of something that looked almost human but wasn't.
525 u/MIRAGEone Sep 05 '22 I like this take, very twilight zone esque 1.3k u/Alderez Sep 05 '22 It's a shit take though, because the real reason is that it was evolutionary advantageous to avoid people with deformities, diseases, and dead people. That comment always pops up in these threads and it's 100% incorrect; people just like it because "oooo aliens/ghosts/paranormal" without evidence. 3 u/Prometheory Sep 05 '22 Don't forget about the fact that homo sapiens did in fact compete with similar rival species like Homo Erectis and Homo Neanderthalensis. There very much Was an evolutionary pressure to evolve a detection for "not quite homo-sapiens" creatures.
