There are some psychological theories that say evolutionary process is partially responsible for why certain animals (spiders [ick], snakes, etc.) are feared more than others (rabbits, cows, etc), being that certain animals are more likely to be deadly. And also, it's also believed that humans have initial fears born into them (heights and IIRC loud noises) also for protection. Maybe that is similar to what you read earlier.
