Evolutionary Reason for the Uncanny Valley
One of the most frightening things I've ever heard is when someone pointed out that the existence of the uncanny valley implies that at some point there was an evolutionary reason to be afraid of something that looked human but wasn't.
A screenshot of a tweet about the uncanny valley appears above a dark, wide-eyed close-up of a fearful-looking face. The joke is that the uncanny valley may exist because humans once needed to fear something that looked almost human, making the evolutionary implication deeply unsettling.
