Anthropology major answer: “There absolutely was such a time! Modern humans and our ancestors shared territory numerous times over prehistory with cousin species like homo neanderthalensis, homo floresiensis, and many, many others!”
Folklore student answer: “Also, almost all cultures have something like djinn, faeries, hulder, fox spirits, and other similar creatures who can appear at least human and are very, very dangerous to humans!”
Both of these things are true, and may be connected both to the above and to each other. :D

Many classic horror icons, such as Giger’s Xenomorphs, Silent Hill’s Pyramid Head, and other disturbing creatures, share common characteristics. Pale skin, dark, sunken eyes, elongated faces, sharp teeth, and the like. These images inspire horror and revulsion in many, and with good reason. The characteristics shared by these faces are imprinted in the human mind.
Many things frighten humans instinctively. The fear is natural, and does not need to be reinforced in order to terrify. The fears are species-wide, stemming from dark times in the past when lightning could mean the burning of your tree home, thunder could be the approaching gallops of a stampede, predators could hide in darkness, and heights could make poor footing lethal.
The question you have to ask yourself is this:
What happened, deep in the hidden eras before history began, that could effect the entire human race so evenly as to give the entire species a deep, instinctual, and lasting fear of pale beings with dark, sunken eyes, razor sharp teeth, and elongated faces?
Pale skin and sunken eyes are synonymous with illness and death. You instinctively fear people who are ill or dead, as to not catch an illness yourself. As for sharp teeth and elongated faces: characteristics of predators. Sharp teeth means carnivorous. Long face (with front facing eyes) means good depth perception for hunting. The pale skin, sunken eyes, sharp teeth, and long face trope is a combination of those instinctual fears, producing a stronger fear/reaction.
…what???
this is a universal experience because education is chronically underfunded across the world

This information is just…blatantly false?
At 6 weeks:
Not to mention, that at 6 weeks, a fetus doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.
At 7 weeks:
“Now measuring around 1cm long, your growing baby is about the size of a blueberry.

Does this look like it has fingers or toes? Hmm? Does it???
None of this is even considering that a fetus at seven weeks doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.
At 8 weeks:
You’re right that the tiny fetus is moving at this point, but plenty of single-cell organisms are capable of moving as well. We don’t throw fits about taking medicine to kill, say bacteria–a single celled organism, some of which have the capability of movement–when we get sick, now do we? But the rest is bullshit:
“Her hands are developing ridges where her fingers will be. However, her ankles, thighs, knees and toes are not yet distinct.”
How can something without proper hands be left or right-handed? Oh right, because this is mindless fear-mongering, outside of the realm of reality:
“Most children have a preference for using one hand or the other by the age of about 18 months, and are definitely right or left-handed by about the age of three.”
Notice how it says children, and not fetuses.
Oh, man, and I forgot to mention, at 8 weeks, it doesn’t have the right to violate the pregnant person’s bodily autonomy.
At 10 weeks:
Lies, apparently. More lies.
The fetus cannot open its mouth or suck its fingers until week 11.
Fingerprints are not fully formed until 6 months.
Oh, but damnit, again I’ve forgotten:
This mindless fear-mongering only hurts pregnant people who seek to have an abortion for whatever reason they’d like, which is, scientifically speaking, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Anyway, ultimately your decision about what to do with your body is literally up to no one but you. And trying to take that right away from people is gross. Thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

The thing that’s so wonderfully baffling to me is that 90% of the prolife argument is built on just making up blatant lies like most conservative causes at least make an effort to have an argument but the prolife movement really out here just makin up shit
