Attentional, emotional, and behavioral response toward spiders, scorpions, crabs, and snakes: Do they all scare us?

Abstract excerpt

Spiders evoke significant fear and disgust in many people; such a complex response has been formed throughout human evolution. However, most spiders do not present a serious threat, so the evolutionary explanation is controversial. We suggest that other chelicerates, e.g., scorpions, might have been important in the formation and fixation of the spider-like category. In this eye-tracking study, we checked for some...
