We all descended from a group of people living in savannah/subtropical/tropical area. I'm guessing that's what the other anon is basing it on.
However, my personal opinion is this: we are most afraid of things we have not experienced, or did not anticipate, which causes our brain to go into panic mode. Humans never lived in a habitat where there were lots of cobwebs or spiders, nor has it been beneficial to us in the past to accept spiders amongst our environs, and I suspect over time this gets ingrained into our instinct.
It's like monkeys being scared to death of crabs, but being fine with crabs that have wigs stuck on them because they have never ever seen a hairless creature before in their lives.
