Violations of hygienic norms have been conceptualized as animal reminder disgust because they are related to animalistic behavior (Haidt, McCauley, & Rozin 1994; Rozin et al., 1993).

However, some researchers have questioned whether core disgust, animal-reminder disgust, and contamination disgust represent conceptually distinct categories (Tybur et al., 2009) and an alternative approach that is based in the supposed function of disgust domains has been proposed.
text: Animal-reminder disgust, or more broadly existential disgust, has been proposed as a reaction to things that bring to mind our similarity with nonhuman animals, especially their mortal nature.
