The fear of public speaking is an evolutionary response to the threat of being judged and potentially killed by one's tribe.
It's like the reason why people fear public speaking is because initially in a tribal situation, if you're talking in front of the group of 150 people in your tribe, it's probably because they're judging you and you fucked up and you've got to make some sort of a case why they don't kill you. Right. Right? This is why everyone, this is the fear of public speaking. That's where it comes from.
