Explanation: An explanation according to the theory of evolution is that biological preparedness is pre-wired but we can also learn fear through observation. This simply means that some of our current behaviors are evolutionary adaptations; they have been inherited from our ancestors solely because in times past, they solved specific and recurrent problems related to survival/reproduction while some of our behaviors we acquire through observational learning, in other words, new behaviors are learned through direct observation of others.
