00:00Have you ever noticed how someone can jump out of an airplane purely for fun,
00:05but absolutely lose their mind over a spider the size of a raisin?
00:11I mean, why do snakes, bugs, rodents, and other tiny freeloaders cause us to hit the panic button?
00:19Well, the strange thing is, we weren't actually born this way.
00:22Our brains seem to be pre-wired to learn those fears incredibly fast.
00:27Our early ancestors discovered that snakes bite, rodents carry disease, and bugs can do both,
00:34plus lay eggs in places we'd rather not think about.
00:37Gross!
00:37So over thousands of years, our brains became amazingly good at spotting creatures that might be dangerous.
00:44So, the next time your skin crawls because something tiny scurried across the floor,
00:50remember, your ancient ancestors taught you how to survive.
00:53You got this, kid.
00:55It's the Always Wondered Podcast.
00:58finals у more than anything like this.
00:58Thanks to people who've been trying to do those fears and how to survive.
