Maybe a couple thousand more years of evolution and the females will get rid of that scream in emergency situations. It was NOT helpful in this one.
Best not to paint with a broad brush.
Everyone reacts differently to stress situations.
Except running out of beer. Pretty much everyone panics over that. ;)

While not useful in this situation, they don’t seem able to hold it in.
The female scream is just about the most effective alarm there is though, when a woman screams in fear, the world for 100s of yards in all directions comes to a halt, and men start flowing toward it.
