Description

«The peacocks tail,» said Charles Darwin, «makes me sick.» Thats because the theory of evolution as adaptation cant explain why nature is so beautiful. It took the concept of sexual selection for Darwin to explain that, a process that has more to do with aesthetics than the practical. Survival of the Beautiful is a revolutionary new examination of the interplay of beauty, art, and culture in evolution.
