Alright, well most of you know what Fear is. Fear is that horrible feeling you get when you're scared. If you have never felt this before then go watch The Exorcist then come back and read through this thread. Through out the ages we have had many classic horror media. We've had books, TV Shows, movies, and other types of media. Everyone knows about "pale skinned humans with bloody red eyes and razor sharp teeth". If you don't then the only vampire film you have watched is Twilight. Most humans get scared over horror media, and it is natural. However... What happened deep in the hidden eras before us humans began, that could give the entire human race, a deep, instinctual feeling when we get scared? What could have possibly happened, to make the whole human race have this horrible feeling when they watch something that inflicts it? ... Our history could be more complex then it is now. |

It's instinct. What was so scary that made us get scared now? As if it were instinct. |

Because every being's basic instinct is to survive. That's why things such as suicide scare us, because it goes against our wants of self-preservation. Being hunted back when we were still prey to large predators, fear was most likely experienced. That's where the theory of behavioral genetics comes in. I highly doubt that we developed fear out of one single event. |

So being hunted gave us the feeling of fear? That could be it, but maybe there's more. |
