"Aesthetic preference operates across five layers, from neurology to cultural hegemony, indicating that our tastes are shaped by both biological and cultural factors."
"Dominant instinctual drives can predict visual aesthetic preferences at a remarkable 77.6% concordance, highlighting the interplay between biology and cultural influences."
