The Uncanny Valley Theory of Human Evolution | History For Sleep

Step quietly into the shadows of prehistory, where memory, evolution, and perception intertwine. This isn’t just serious history—it’s sleep history, reimagined. In this slow-burning bedtime documentary, we unravel one of the strangest mysteries of human history: the Uncanny Valley.

Why does a lifelike doll give you chills? Why does that CGI face feel just a little… off? From ancient hominid encounters to modern AI avatars, this soothing journey explores how your Stone Age brain is still reacting to things it doesn’t fully understand. Behind the science of the uncanny valley theory lies something older, deeper—a psychological fossil preserved through millions of years of evolution.

As your eyes grow heavy, drift through ghostly echoes of Neanderthals, Denisovans, and early humans who once shared the Earth with us. Explore the crossroads of anthropology, archaeology, and neuroscience through calming narration and immersive sound, perfect for those who crave boring history for sleep, or anyone lost in a bout of sleepless history.

This is boring history to fall asleep to—and yet, it’s anything but dull. It’s about how we once feared the unfamiliar... and why we still do.
