My theory would be that neoteny goes hand-in-hand with the traits of domestication (social friendliness, high tolerance of strangers, etc), and that humans are effectively self-domesticated.

Some of this is alluded to in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoteny_in_humans which is a fascinating read, as is this very thread. Thanks for the food for thought!
