I was recently reading about evolution. Reading really allows us to connect the dots. Because I wondered that if our fear of animals (Dogs, cats or whatever) is actually a leftover of evolution. Hear me out. Humans were never really the top species to begin with. We were at the bottom of the food chain, being hunted frequently by other animals. We were always in the shadow of being hunted down. There were plenty of animals top of us, like wild dogs, the cat family, wolves, etc. Yes, as you might wonder, those days of scavenging are beyond us now. We are the most intelligent species by and far on the planet (I can even say that intelligence was a sort of adaptation against us being hunted). However, as you know, the basic traits of human being haven't changed even one bit. For example, any human couldn't had survive alone during those days, hence a human is a social animal. Similarly, I've got a theory in my mind that even our fear of animals is a leftover of evolution. Whenever we are scared of animals, it's actually our pre historic trait of our brain telling us to run away as that animal is going to hunt us down.
I still am a bit scared of dogs What are your thoughts on this?

I have read that hearing birds singing calms you down because it means there are no predators nearby and that's an evolution left over.

I believe we are afraid of animals because active or dangerous animals (such as dogs) can cause harm. We fear snakes because they can cause pain. We fear active, large dogs because they can knock us over. We fear bears because both. You already know I don't believe in evolution, but this is merely common sense.

I am still curious what of evolution you don't understand... I just do not think that it is scientifically justifiable. This sounds so general, I biever there details to discuss, like the pure random mutations like Darwin describes overss completely the active part, will and live circumstances. But overall I don't know any scientifically doubts. And today, with genetical testing we pretty exactly can reconstructure the family and roots of every livings. What do you think is not 'scientifically justifiable' ?

For one thing, it is impossible for life to come from non-living material because of the law of biogenesis, and, more directly related to the theory of evolution, is that mutations are never dominant, and will almost always be swamped into the gene pool unless two animals are bred with the same mutation.

I mean several human even fear of water so physiological effect maybe anyways i only fear fish which located deep down the sea like on Mariana trench

Anyway doesn't all creatures which is part of Animalia Kingdom comes from Microorganism that exist after Oxygen exist on Earth?

So, what? We've just always existed? Also Biogenesis is both not a law and taken outa context The "law" says that complex living things can only come from other living things, just debunking the spontaneous generation theory Just cuz mutations are mostly not going to happen doesn't mean they won't at all
