they cite neanderthals as the reason bc they looked like us with differences. that's the general consensus at this time anyway

i saw a video where a guy was explaining that it might've been Gigantopithecus that caused early humans to develop the uncanny valley feeling because Gigantopithecus would try to copy them? idk

Corpses. It's because of corpses. They look human but wrong, because there's no life in them.

As far as i know, uncanny valley exists for us to recognise ill individuals, since quite a few illnesses show in the face with signs of tiredness, redness or paleness, etc. so yeah

(I have a theory but it's religious so feel free to scroll if you don't want to hear that) The reason why we have the uncanny valley ability is to distinguish demons/jinn/any other theological creatures that can disguise/shape shift themselves to look like humans with few inconsistencies or flaws, and we developed this ability / were given it because these beings were harming humans or kidnapping them by imitating humans.

Pretty much every creature has the “uncanny valley” sense

It’s actually said that we have this fear rooted in us to avoid corpses and dead things, prevent illness from disease a corpse can carry.

it's a natural instinctual fear of death, "uncanny valley" is a fear of corpses, the dead, because the cause usually doesn't stray far.

I saw a different post talking about the period of time that homo sapiens existed at the same time as Neanderthals to explain that phenomenon. I like the corpse answer too.

it's actually the fear and instinct if staying away from anything that looks like you but slightly different which sprouted during periods when we lived in caves and someone from another group (1

Perhaps we saw a different species of homosapiens. they looked like us but they weren't us. Perhaps skinwalkers?
