I would say there's an evolutionary need to be afraid of things we don't understand. Lots more examples of that as well.

When it looks like something we think we recognize but it looks unfamiliar at the same time, we don't understand it, and we want to stay away from it.

Simple as that, in my mind. 🤷‍♂️
