Uncanny Valley Theory is a hypothesis about human feelings about robots and non-human objects, it was proposed in 1970 by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori, when robots and humans are similar to humans in appearance and movement to a certain extent, their reactions will suddenly become extremely disgusting, even if the robot and humans have a little difference, will appear very conspicuous and dazzling, feel that the whole robot appears very stiff and terrifying, let people have the feeling of facing the walking dead. The higher the simulation degree of the humanoid toy or robot, the more people have a good feeling, but before the similarity is close to 100%, this favorability will suddenly decrease, the more like the person is, the more disgusted with fear, the favorability level falls to the bottom, which is called the uncanny valley. However, when the similarity of robots' appearance and movements to humans continues to rise, human emotions will also change back to positive, close to the empathy between humans and humans.
Homo neanderthalensis, also translated as Neanderthalsis, is often used as a generic term for a representative population in the middle stage of human evolutionary history. It is named after its fossils found in the Neanderthal Valley of Germany.
Neanderthals are close relatives of the ancestors of modern Europeans, who ruled all of Europe, west Asia, and northern Africa from 120,000 years ago, but these ancient humans disappeared 24,000 years ago.
In 2010, the Neanderthal genome sketch was released, also based on the Neanderthal genome sketch, and the results found that the modern population of Eurasia except Africans contributed 1% to 4% of the Neanderthal gene composition.
Some argue that the Uncanny Valley was created by the struggle between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, and that the ancient struggle with the Neanderthals led to the fear of the humanoid race being written into the genes. This may also explain why we have a fear of dolls like human beings.
According to a paper in the journal Science last February, our modern human body generally contains extinct ancient Neanderthal genes, which are associated with depression, allergies, skin damage, thrombosis, nicotine addiction, nutritional imbalances, urinary incontinence, bladder pain, urethral dysfunction and a series of other diseases. This result suggests that Neanderthal genes in our bodies may be an important factor in the risk of depression.
