As we are dealing with a human face, and it has contours, by darkening most of the area (such as black skin has a tendency to do), the contour (detail) is reduced, therefore one sees mostly a "flat, large, dark area" as the face, with less detail, somewhat. To that, the stark contrast of the white of the eyes and teeth tend to reduce the total contrast even more. Of course, ambient lighting will tend to either strengthen or weaken this effect, accordingly. Suffice it to say, that in areas of less lighting, the darker skin color will tend to hide even more detail, resulting in just eyes and teeth as details against a black, featureless plain. As for Aborigines being aggressive - well, that is a totally different story, isn't it?
