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

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.

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.

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.

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.
