Biting insects kill more people than any other animal group by miles, the reaction response is more or less the same in every mammal. Evolution doesn’t evolve to anything, that’s selective pressure.
This behavior predates humans as we know ourselves today.

I take issue with this obvious selection bias. Of course this is true when you’re pre-selecting for only the insects that bite people. If you were to preselect, only those sharks that have bitten people, so-called biting sharks, I think the shark been people have a higher average mortality than the insect bitten people. /s
