For fear of snakes and spiders is a common phenomenon in modern society, although many
people have never seen wild snakes or poisonous spiders. Some scientists think that when

evolution of "instinct engraved" in the human brain, does not need to learn. After the
experiment is for adults or older children, fear of snakes or spiders cannot measure whether
the image will directly stimulate the instinct.
The German Marx Planck human cognitive and Brain Sciences Research Institute scientists
report that they show the size and color of the same picture to the 6 month old baby, a part of
the picture is the flowers, fish, other pictures is a spider or a snake. The results showed that
when there's a spider or a snake, baby the pupil was significantly larger.
