[QUOTE 3880862, member: 9609"]I would have thought we were all hard-wired to be scared of stuff like snakes and spiders, it is amazing how quickly we spot them, people who didn't spot them or had no natural fear didn't get to procreate. I think many animals are naturally wary, I remember my dogs first encounter with an adder, he suddenly stopped then slowly took a wide berth - he just naturally knew this was not a toy.[/QUOTE]
Not hard wired, at least not specifically. My son , 9, has gone from collecting insects to being screaming ab-dabs afraid of any bug in twelve months.
