This gets posted a lot, but nobody ever seems to post what the thing was.

The answer is probably "other hominids". Humans (Homo sapiens specifically) co-existed with them for a long time and competed with them over resources.

Edit: and the genetically deformed (with whom it would be beneficial to not breed, at least from an evolutionary standpoint) and corpses or people with disease

Also corpses, I see it debunked pretty much every time it’s posted

[-] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

So you're saying zombies used to be real? 😱

And the only reason they’re gone is because we stopped fucking them

Yeah they tend to make a face like that.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Yeah. "Used to be". Let's go with that. Less paperwork.

It could be a rock formation. Nobody says uncanny valley when its a sexy looking knot on a tree.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

To elaborate more, I think that it's because if humans have an aversion to other hominids and corpses, we wouldn't try to waste resources attempting to breed with them.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

We very much did bread with other hominids

[-] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Well, perhaps not the ones that look uncanny then.

That's on a knead to know basis

Also corpses can lead to disease

[-] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago

See e.g. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbreeding_between_archaic_and_modern_humans

Corpses, illness, "bad genes" (asymmetry etc) seems like a more reasonable explaination in my ears, with interacting/breeding in mind.

Humans as a whole have never had any trouble killing other humans who looked just like them. I don't think such an instinct would have been necessary. And anyway the uncanny valley has more to do with revulsion than aggression.

Yeah if you don't say that, it's way scarier because then it could be anything! Even... the...

Nah, too much distance between pockets of different pre-humans usually. There weren't a 10 million people on the world most of the time.

The thing is psychopaths. They still prey on us to this day.

But we don't recognize them on sight, so can't be it.
