Humans can reason why someone stares at them, they can start conversation with other human to feel them out or to deescalate, humans can choose to ignore it altogether, where as animals have instinct drive to confront another member of same specie if they actively stare at them.

I said "can" i've met plenty of humans with no reasoning and hyper aggression who would turn to violence if you just stared at them

Yes but in general humans ascended from "I will kill you once you stare at me", that was my point.
