I think that "universal" phobias or fears, such as fear of big dogs, spiders, snakes, and heights make sense from an evolutionary standpoint.
​
Toddlers and small children who were REALLY afraid and avoidant of snakes and spiders were more likely to survive and grow up to pass on their genes than those who, lacking fear, reached out to touch the snake or spider.
