    It’s called “corpse”. Often riddled with diseases.

      Or perhaps whatever animal killed your friend is still nearby. Maybe it’s still hungry, or maybe it feels it’s territory is still underappreciated.

          Yeah, some asshole walks through your territory, doesn’t seem like it’s being appreciated that the territory is yours

    The humanoids we evolved from were at one point, not the only humanoids around. We coexisted with other, different species (neanderthals being an example). Homosapien is just the one that survived.

      Yeah this is just leftover racism from a time when racism had a reason to exist.

        I mean, racism has as much reason to exist now as it ever did. “I’ll protect me and what’s mine” has been the dividing line between species for thousands of years, and we have to choose whether we’ll continue it. A “Kill or be killed” mindset might keep you safe, but you’ll never know if the person you killed did indeed mean you harm, or if you could’ve instead lived without killing, and broke bread with a rival. The logic still applies

    It would be a evolutionary benefit to fear / avoid any person that is behaving strangely in certain distinct ways. Could be a dangerous transmittable disease, i.e. rabies etc.

    Or the biological need to be afraid of ourselves because if I saw a human standing in my backyard in the shadows I would be as scared as if it were an alien, humans aren’t a joke when they want to kill or maim and humans love to kill or maim if they need something you have

    We still do. They’re called psychopaths. It’s been a problem for so long that we’ve evolved an instinctual response to it.

    I mean, we existed as the same time as other early ape species (which we killed off like the monsters we are), so it makes sense.

      Killed off, but not necessarily by violence.

          I think the most compelling theory is we mated them into our communities, while outcompeting for food

    Or it’s just that something feels off, fellow human.

    On the other hand, maybe because we’re a highly social species and some people are just crazy, which you see in their face or behavior.

    I call this feeling “The Holy Spirit” and no I’m not religious, hear me out.

    So there’s “The Father” which is you, in charge of everything.

    Then there’s “The Son” which is your Jesus, the bit of you that does shit mostly perfectly without any input from you. The scary example of this is when you drive to work and can’t remember the drive at all. Jesus Take the wheel. Teach your Jesus right and you can trust he’ll do things fine.

    Then The Holy Spirit, which is that part of you that sees everything, before the filters are applied, and let’s you know something is off. There’s no obvious reason for it, but there’s something off about this guy and we need to get away from him as soon as possible and never interact with them again.

    The Jesus part is the important bit for most of us. Learning to play the guitar? Teach your Jesus. When you’ve practiced enough you can just trust that Jesus will hit the notes while you concentrate on singing along.

    When I learned to Juggle I just taught my Jesus how to throw properly so it lands in the other hand.

    At work I teach my Jesus how to do the manual labour, do the checks I need to do, and I can concentrate on ripping on my work colleagues.
