Goosebumps and Fear: The Million-Year-Old Reflex Still Running

Goosebumps when you are scared are an old program running on a body that lost its fur over a million years ago. The same tiny muscles fire when you are cold, frightened, or moved by music, and on a human arm they achieve nothing at all. You will learn how each hair muscle works, why a raised coat once made animals look bigger and stay warmer, and why losing our fur for long-distance running made clothing a replacement coat. The video explains why fear, cold and music share one switch, why evolution never removed the reflex, what other leftovers your body carries, and how visible goosebumps may still spread alarm through a group.
