Maybe it's just a side effect from recognizing humans. The very fact that it's not supposed to happen is what freaks you out.
Humans and neanderthals coexisted for awhile, also sociopathy has likely been present in our entire history, and rabies for at least 4000 years but likely much longer.
Or the uncanny valley is just not a thing. There's a great video breaking it down, but I don't know where to find it rn. Basically, it's just an experimental artifact of flawed methodology.
