I said specifically our fear of people, and I said "somewhat" tuned to reality (not perfectly).
General risk perceptions are all over the map because we have no instinct to process risks like flying in an airplane.
But people have needed to judge the safety of other people for a long time. It would be weird if our sense of fear was not somewhat aligned with danger in that area.
