As soon as my wife noticed this random stone looked like a face I couldn’t unsee it and had to take a photo

Haha, that’s great.

My theory is that the "Fusiform face area" in the brain is always working overtime, even when there are no humans or animals around for it to work on. Thus, I think that the more one looks at pics & patterns like this, the more faces one will see…

For example, I see a dark, rectangular head / face near lower-right corner, looking towards the NW. The stone has a kind of metal-like look. (see it?) And a couple others, scattered around…

(I also wonder if we have a similar brain region to recognise genitals, but you didn’t hear me say that)

OP

Yeah ive heard of this, and reminds me of trying to see faces and objects in the clouds with mates when i was a kid (and trying to find which cloud looked the most like a dick, but you didnt hear me say that)

I remember reading an article about how a little stone that looked like a face was found far away from its geographical origin because a caveman probably thought it was pretty cool and just kept it with him.

We haven’t changed much, haha.
