"If a biological trait is common in almost every human, then it evolved for a reason. Almost everybody has the same response to the “uncanny valley,” or in other words we are made uncomfortable by things that look almost human but not quite. This implies humans once had a reason to fear something that looks human but isn’t."

I don’t know if I’ve ever been within 3 meters of a rat.
I question this one too. Mice (and chipmunks) certainly but where I am rats aren't really that common.
Yeah, it's supposed to be a spider within 10 ft (totally accurate), but many places don't have rats or mice. In Alaska it's Voles not mice.
#10 Which has been happening throughout the ages. I am sure that during the black death there were many who were saying now is not the time for children. When infant mortality rates were 50% and above, I am sure many were saying it is not the time for children. For some it will never be time, resources, etc..

#25 Wow. 6 minutes to live unless someone starts CPR on you and being aware of it. I've done CPR on thousands of people during my military and medical career and I cannot imagine being the recipient of actual effective CPR being done on me. Most times we crack the sternum by doing chest compressions. Manual ventilation must be uncomfortable and I am not even going to go into being intubated.
