First of the chapter, the author said we didn't need to
care to attach too much meaning to what animals do.
I think the reason is animals act instinctively.
And then author said fear of snakes is a learned behavior in humans.
There is an irony.
when we approach to the snakes, they threaten us with swishing sound.
of course, even though they don't recognize what they are doing,one thing is sure
that they protect themselves.
they threaten others, so enemy leave. this is the purpose of the action.
However, author said fear of snakes is a learned behavior.
Then, why snakes threaten other people?
snakes want to show us not to approach them.
Even the baby who have a little knowledge of the world can know
why the snakes maek sound instintively.
Therefore, in my opinion, when the babis face snakes at first,
they feel threatening instintively.
it's not the learned behavior.
Simply, the snakes behave instintively to protect themselves, and that behavior
apply to the enemy instintively,also.
Eventaully, even though enemy doesn't know about the snakes, enemy can feel what
the snkes want to show.
(Actually, during the writing, I was also confused what my opinion was.hahaha)

protect itself is every animal's basis behavior .Of course for people, so they will do that no matter what purpose of human.
Personally, I`m not afraid of snakes, so I can touch them. But most people are afraid of them because they learn that some snakes have a poison and are dangerous, so I think a fear of snakes is one kind of learned behavior in humans.
