I know pareidolia (seeing faces in objects) is built into our brains, but does anyone know why or where it comes from?
In: Biology
Humans have super complex social structures and it comes with many pluses and minuses. One thi g that ultimately results is the biggest determination of survival is social skills and pardolia fits in to recognize expressions and enemies. The greatest predator of humans is other humans.
The other result of those social skills is it results in relationally linking different things, and complex pattern recognition and prediction. The end result that’s really a minor byproduct is math and science and engineering and technology. And I mean minor. Look how long it took for scientists to go from teaching a machine arithmetic and programming to bei g able to recognize human speech. Science as we know it is almost computationally simple compared to just talking. And that’s not yet getting into nuance etc.
