Why I'm Scared of Spiders
Season 3 Episode 2 | 3m 6s
The science of OH GOD IS THAT A SPIDER?!
I'm scared of spiders. I'm not afraid to admit it. I love them in a scientific sense, or from a "let me look at you from way over here" sense, but that's as close as I get. Here's a look at the science of why some of us are afraid of spiders, snakes, roaches, and other creepy crawlies. Did I evolve to be this way, or did I learn to be afraid of them? It seems to be an open question
