When studying various aspects of art and aesthetic tastes, contemporary evolutionists have no doubt that art is part of human nature, we have it in the brain and in the genes, as we might say today. Following the path set out by Aristotle, Hume, Darwin and his followers, evolutionary aesthetics (inspired by evolutionary psychology) develops in its three main branches: (1) anthropological ethological (E. Dissanayake, 1890s Darwinian art theorists: H. Balfour, A.C. Haddon, F. Clay), (2) evolutionary aesthetics (Dutton and continuators) and (3) literary Darwinism (B. Boyd, J. Carroll, J.Gottschall, D.S. Wilson). The article examines the theoretical proposals of D. Dutton, the author of The Art Instinct as well as the views of his predecessor, E. Dissanayake.
