Humans are born with just two innate fears:

Heights is strange. If that were true then why are the penthouses of condos and hotels so expensive. People always wanting a “room with a view” etc.

I know fear of spiders and snakes is natural as well.

Cuz they're in a room that keeps them away from the heights, maintaining security. As for the snakes n spiders, this video begs to differ

The only thing to fear, is fear itself.

I thought Darkness was an inherent fear as well since we don't have night vision



I definitely have super sensitive ears thought if something is loud and doesn't have a rhythm to it I immediately get pissed off

Thats not true. There's more.

Babies are scared of grass.

There's that innate fear of the slightly abnormal I found interesting. That creepy vibe you can get seeing a robot talk is linked to it. That is probably learned in human history having an experience with dead human(s) and obtained ancestrally.

I've also read it could be linked to previous links to the modern human just different enough to incite fear during times when those types were warring (ex. Neanderthals) and we kept it over time.

Personally, I'm really afraid of heights. Loud noises are a concern, but the feeling I get from heights is otherworldly and I find it intriguing simply because it is so completely different from everything else. It is definitely the instance I can describe with the word "fear".

This is true

They call it uncanny valley these days

I remember as a kid looking at puppets and being slightly freaked out when I thought about how weird they would be if they were real.

Funny this got brought up. Just watched this the other day.

As Michael Blackson said about "Bone Crusher" "never scared? But you scared of a diet".
