Answer 3

When many people come in close range of spiders and snakes, they feel scared.

If it's also true that many people feel fear or disgust when they get close to a wingspanroach,
then I think I know why.

I read a book called "Emotions Revealed," by Paul Ekman. He's a psychologist who specializes in human emotion.

In his book, he writes about the biological inheritance of basic human emotions.
Emotions like fear and disgust are something that we are born with.
The ability to feel these emotions is passed down through our genes.

There's more.
Each emotion has a list of "core relational themes."

"Core relational themes" are basically the things in life that would make anyone feel a certain emotion.

Like the feeling of falling through the air, unexpectedly.
That's a "core relational theme," because it would make anyone feel scared. Anyone.

Now, IF it is true that many people feel fear or disgust when they get close to a wingspanroach,
then I think that physical closeness to wingspanroaches could also be a "core relational theme."

This is just a guess. But there's a reason.

We have basic emotions because they protect us. They help us survive.

Disgust protects us because it tells us to stay away from things that could make us sick, and ultimately kill us.

wingspanroaches spread germs and diseases.
They don't care where they go, or what they step on.
Because of this, they pick up germs that could make us sick, and maybe even kill us.

My idea is that a long, long time ago, people who were afraid/disgusted by wingspanroaches were more likely to survive.
Because of this, they were able to pass their genes onto their children.
They were also able to warn their children to fear wingspanroaches.

Because their children had their genes,
the children also feared and felt disgusted by many of the same things as their parents did. Like spiders, and snakes, and wingspanroaches.
