      One hypothesis goes that we have the uncanny valley effect to distinguish from both diseased dead bodies and also other living humanoid evolutionary branches, and our instinctive disgust is an evolutionary adaptation to kill and biologically dominate.

      Put that together with the need for frontiers and... Oh no. *We* killed the aliens... no... we *are* the aliens 😲

      There’s a sci-fi story I can’t remember the title of that says something like “We went into the stars looking for others but found we were alone, so we became everything we’d dreamed of finding.”

      This idea was a huge inspiration for my setting in Making Peace and all the coming books in that series. We spread far and wide and become our own wondrous aliens.

      I've been thinking about the uncanny valley affect a lot lately. I'd love to know if you think it was a means to keep from exogamy early in our evolution.

      It’s possible, would seem to explain the effect as a survival mechanism. The best hypotheses I’ve seen covered avoidance of leprosy, corpses, and other hominid species. That might explain why zombies, clowns, and talking monkeys genuinely disturb some people to furious levels.

      It strikes me as ironic then that it didn't kick in strong enough when archaic humans finally encountered Neanderthals, or perhaps by then exogamy was an established practice for building trust in both hominid species, either way it's something I muse on.

      Close enough might not trigger it. Actors like David Boreanaz with that huge brow ridge show we’re comfortable being close to that gene pool.pic.twitter.com/eLybEbsbyE

      The uncanny valley is about being just messed up enough not to be human but not too far to seem animal... maybe some slipped through by being just human enough.
