1 Answer

Answer :

answer:I don’t know. But what I do know is that very few things startle or scare or me. The one thing that does cause me to jump and my heart to race is screaming. When my wife or daughter scream, my body reacts with instant fight/flight. It could be cultural, it could simply be a means of communication that was evolutionarily beneficial, or could be both. If I recall, we are not the only species that screams. It wouldn’t take much to imagine that those people who had a scream reflex were more likely to survive (and reproduce) – whether it be to scare off predators or warn others in a social group of a threat. Edit: Also, your link is broken. I think you were intending to link to this?
