Because historically the most dangerous things to humans have been not other animals, but other humans. Were generally afraid of anything dissimilar to ourselves because that often meant war or competition between tribes and such.
It doesn’t make sense in the modern world but unfortunately instincts are hard to let go of for some people.

It’s hardwired. And no, neither you nor I am immune to the influence.
