As well, in this train of thought - another aspect of the human manifestation of "aposematic mimicry" - is in the purposeful act of creating firstly the illusion of a larger "predator" for which to "personify." Meaning that through the use of the "illusion" and tendency of others within that motion, a "safe" predator can be manufactured to mimic with little risk(and is in many ways quite frequently - i.e. the "bad guy" in the movies), and done so even beyond the "entertainment" aspects of society.

This then seems to present a wonderfully "predatorial" illusion which can then be "aped" as if it were actually "predatorial" - this while remaining within the relative safety in knowledge that there are no real social elements of that which are being employed within the "aposematic mimicry" of the illusion, that could harm those employing it - while then receiving the full benefits (presumably) of personifying what others perceive as something quite fierce.

Of course this is then aided with the speed of modern exposure.

There again, as simply with the different applications of said tendencies - is the evidence of the unique human capacity and differences from animals, but as well illustrates the similar elemental components we share to greater or lesser degrees - being that such "traits" are present in the animal kingdom as well as the human species. ~

Socially in a larger sense, this human version(s) becomes incredibly interesting to observe as it has developed and changed - or simply just continued in the possibility that such never has really changed in that sense. ~

Something else which I have noted from other perspectives, is the more historic (topical -cerebral) applications of "aposematic mimicry" within humans in a very nearly pure psychological sense - being for example that "Richard the Lion Hearted" didn't walk around "purring" or "growling" like a large cat... but did use the likeness as representation personally, as well as even perhaps had embodied (especially in his own mind) the characteristics of a lion.
