> I don't think disgust is "innate".

Oh it is and what til you hear about couple more fears we didn't have to learn through experience:

> Examples of innate fear include fears that are triggered by predators, pain, heights, rapidly approaching objects, and ancestral threats such as snakes and spiders. Animals and humans detect and respond more rapidly to threatening stimuli than to nonthreatening stimuli in the natural world.

Some adaptations are so worthwhile they get wired into our biology!

Also, fear of loud, sudden noises, and fear of heights/falling are very ancient and show up very early in development.
