Everyone is afraid of snakes, right? In one survey, 51 percent of people said that snakes
are their biggest fear. Why is this? One theory says that fear is built into our brains. But
research shows we might also learn to be afraid of things. Scientists conducted an
interesting experiment with monkeys to find out if this is true. The monkeys were born in
a laboratory at a university. First, they showed the monkeys videos of venomous snakes,
and the monkeys didn't react. However, when they showed videos of wild monkeys
acting afraid of these snakes, the lab monkeys also became afraid. Next, a new video was
shown where the wild monkeys appeared to be afraid of flowers. This time, the lab
monkeys did not develop a fear of flowers. The results of this experiment show that
monkeys can learn some of their fear by watching other monkeys. The researchers'
conclusion was that fear is partly built into monkeys' brains, but it can also be learned. It
seems likely that this finding will apply to humans, too, though more research is needed
to confirm this.
