Ever notice
That the sun is above our heads. It is always shining above us. And this is normal to us. We have developed a concept of how a human should look, and a concept of basically determining beauty (based on subconscious perceived attributes like fertility, etc.), based on the sun above our heads.
This is why the dark-room-flashlight-under-chin face is so fucking terrifying and ugly and disturbing. Because we aren't programed to recognize this as human.
But imagine if we didnt have a sun, and our light source came from the glowing grass or something. Then a light source from above, as we know it, would be considered disturbing and terrifying. Then the dark-room-flashlight-under-chin face would be considered, human and normal, and beautiful.
Weird.
