Why Do We Get Goosebumps?

The video explains goosebumps, a reaction where tiny muscles tighten, causing hair to stand up. This occurs due to intense emotions like fear or excitement. The term 'horror' is derived from a Latin word meaning 'to bristle with.' Goosebumps resemble the skin of a plucked bird. In animals, they serve to make them appear larger to predators and help retain warmth. For humans, goosebumps are not a survival mechanism but a result of adrenaline from strong emotions.
