my conclusion is that they're a feature of our evolution that helps the species identify dangerous things, either they eat a mushroom and explode and the rest of the tribe can go "holy fuck don't eat that mushroom" or they go alone on a run through the forest and get mauled by a tiger and the rest of the tribe goes "holy fuck a tiger time to leg it in the opposite direction while it's busy eating Fred"
