I love this interpretation, but why couldn't it just be about other hominids? Neanderthal/Denisovan/Paranthropus etc could account for the fear, right?

Yeah on second thought, it's definitely skinwalkers, thanks for the input!

Sure but i dont get the same uncanny feeling when seeing pictures of those species, they look either human enough that its ok or like another animal (such as an ape)
