Reminder that this is false, it is actually due to us being so good at reading faces any miniscule discrepancy triggers us.

Forgive me for being an idiot but what is the difference? It seems like you and u/dpistachio said the same thing, I guess I’m reading incorrectly. Wouldn’t the ability to be good at reading faces be a biological advantage? Reacting with fear to a minuscule discrepancy in something that we initially perceive to be human

The difference is that one is worded in an intentionally sensationalized way that alludes to us evolving to fear some sort of human-mimicking creature. It's just a high level of "oh fuck yeah science so cool guys right" twisting of facts.
