Aesthetics are in large part driven by physiology.

Got some science to back that up? I highly doubt it. Show me the gene that causes me to think that a sunset is beautiful. I said nothing about sexual attraction - from the beginning I spoke of sunsets - why do you insist in interjecting this angle - because it's all you got? This is just another example of the presupposition and speculation that infests neodarwinian theory.

I think General Re already explained it to you. Aesthetics is in part hardwired and in part cultural.

Take, for example, rap music. Or polka music. Or velvet paintings of Elvis.
