How did some superstitions start?

In the 1940s, a behavioural psychologist named B.F. Skinner developed theories about superstition based on his studies of pigeons, and scientists today continue to use his theories to explain superstition in humans. According to Skinner's theory, people come to believe in superstitions through a "reinforcement schedule": they come to see two events as related because they appear related in that person's experience, even though the events may well only be occurring together for coincidental reasons.

For example, if you eat salmon three times, and three times you get sick, you might come to believe you are allergic to salmon even though, in fact, you may be allergic to some other contextual detail -- such as the preservatives used on the salmon -- and not the salmon itself. Faced with this problem, you might take a comprehensive elimination diet test and determine the true cause, or (more likely) you may simply avoid salmon for the rest of your life because of your superstition, even though you would be perfectly safe to eat salmon caught fresh from the stream.

Simply put, superstitions start in human ignorance, and they end in science.
