Because the staff "stick" is used to help people walk and the snake both causes a person to need medical attention and has healing properties. It is called the "Rod of Asclepius" and is often confused for the "Caduceus" (the rod with two snakes wrapped around it and wings).

Why is Apollo's symbol a snake?

It isn't. Apolla's symbol is the sun, the harp, and golren arrows. Hermes' symbol is the snake wrapped around a winged stick. The snake is a common symbol for wisdom. Apollo's son Asclepius has the symbol of a single snake wrapped around a staff (the symbol seen on most ambulances). Asclepius is technically the god of medicine, but Apollo frequently takes on the role of god of healing himself. Snakes are seen as a symbol of rejuvenation because of their ability to shed their skin, and many people believe that in ancient Greece, snake venom was prescribed as a therapy.

What is the adaptive value of reflexes?

Reflex covers a lot of ground, so an example of a simple reflex in times of possible danger. If one sees a stick on the trail in snake country ( assume poison snake country ) one reflexively jumps to one side regardless and knowing afterwards that this is stick instead of a snake keeps one alive anyway. Humans evolved in snake countries as out ancestors dod and the organism that reflexively jumped away, snake or stick, is the organism that left more decedents that had the same reflex.
