    Not necessarily fear it’s just most of the time today it’s used in horror

    Back then it was probably used to differentiate Neanderthals

      I doubt that premise. Neanderthals looked different, but not uncanny valley. Horror and fear may have been involved sometimes, but so was sex and competition… Neanderthals probably just looked like big chinless people

        According to commercial genetics testing, I’m more Neanderthal than 90% of other people that used the same major company. My ancestors were into some kinky 👉👌

      This made me look up what a Neanderthal would look like in modern clothing and this was one of the results:
