Acrophobia (Fear of Heights)

Mutations can lead to variations in traits, some of which may affect an organism's response to fear-inducing stimuli like snakes and heights. For example, ancestral humans with heightened fear responses to potential threats such as snakes or dangerous heights may have had a survival advantage, leading these traits to be passed down through generations. Natural selection favors individuals who are more cautious in the presence of these dangers, as they are less likely to suffer harm. Consequently, our inherent fears may be rooted in evolutionary adaptations that have helped keep our ancestors safe.

As one who is afraid of heights, I can honestly tell you that once you are in the air, you become less nervous. I believe it is because you are surrounded by the roof and sides of the plane and your feet are firmly planted on a sturdy floor. If you are terribly nervous, you can go to your doctor beforehand and have him prescribe you something that will help you remain calm and collected for the duration of the flight. Another thing you can do is: Face Your Fears Head On. That may seem hard to do, but make your mind up that "I am GOING to do this." And do it. Perhaps you could choose a window seat - it is fascinating to view the earth from an airplane and realize it looks like a map, the boundaries, roads, and other formations are usually visible, and the clouds and sun are a wonder to behold. Decide you are going to enjoy your first plane trip, keep your mind on the fascinating views and the awesomeness of your first experience flying and you will be okay. Later on, you will wonder why you were ever nervous in the first place.
