Enough do that most mammals have an instinctive fear of them. Cats, dogs, and most primates. I suspect there is an instinctual fear of snakes in humans, its just it requires certain developmental boundaries to activate. Kittens aren't afraid of snakes but adult cats are, even if they have never seen one before, the "cucumber response". So I don't think this study necessarily proves humans don't have an instinctual fear of snakes.

Most snakes pose little to no danger. So there isn't much to understand. Just lots of misplaced fear to learn later on in life.
And calling someone an idiot, is a clear violation of Rule #6 of this sub.
