I think there are some things totally like that, but I did notice my young kids seeing a bug and being scared right away. Or funny thing, any cat will do this, put a cucumber next to them without them noticing, and they jump like 3 feet in the air when they see it but its so fast it seems they just react like when you touch a hot metal so its instant. I saw this on Youtube about the cats and tried it with 2 of mine. Its so funny to watch them fly. Anyway, meaning they have an inherent fear of snakes baked into their DNA seems like. We are all mammals and we most likely have some similar things like that.
One thing Elon Musk said that made me rethink some things. In his NeuralLink company, he said they came to the conclusion that our neural cortex is "hosted" by our limbic system in his quest to eventually have our neural cortex host AI itself. What that means is our limbic system is driving the motivation of our neocortex to do complicated things to appease it. So in other words, our underlying needs are still very rudimentary in that sense shared with other mammals and even reptiles despite our neocortex reasoning that we are more than that.
