Reply to comment by mobrocket in The fact that Cats are far more dangerous than Wolf Spiders, yet we love them far more and are far less afraid of them, says a lot about how humans value physical appearance in creatures by Run_MCID37

You forget about medicine. Before sanitation, a splinter was death. Any open wound would basically kill you. That includes spider bites.

You seem to not really understand how evolution works.

Sure humans killed each other, but they also helped and bred with them, furthering the species and reenforcing that, those who don't run from the cave men, have children.

However, those who did not avoid biting insects, would simply die and not breed.

Over millions of years this creates an effect.

Learn more about evolution. It doesn't do what you think it does.

I give up... If you think a splinter means death... That's such a rare case even without medicine it's ridiculous to even pose that. Because by your logic every human would have died.

You may want to look into that. There have been many deaths by splinters, even in modern times.

You forget that humans used to have 15 kids and only 1-2 would make it to adulthood. Oh so many died
