Those are NOT taught to children Hugh. We are BORN with them, and may learn at a later time to overcome them. But they ARE instinctive - babies will initially have them regardless of what they experience or are taught.
Really? I've never heard that before. Logic would dictate that we are born fearless cos we are knowledge-less as Yorick suggested but then I guess we are also born with instincts so fear could be part of our instincts.
