From an evolutionary point of view, why do I want to hug this bear because I find it so cute and cuddly, even though it'll more than likely maul me to death?

Because you associate large facial features and soft textures with human babies, which is it evolutionary advantageous to care for.
Or something.

humans are not viable food for bears
You say that because you're looking at a picture of it.
Trust me, the intimidation factor is real, when you actually see one up close.
This is what they look like without the fluff.

Social conditioning, you've grown up with soft cuddly things (dogs, rabbits, cats, fuck even Winne the Pooh). So now you're a grown adult you still feel those same childhood "instincts" to run up and hug the shit out of it.

>prehistoric OP sees bear
>"awww how cute!"
>prehistoric OP tries to pet bear
>bear tears OP's head off
>he dies
>his shit genes are removed from the gene pool
And that, my friend, is where the evolutionary advantage lies.
