Download: $49.69 Hardcover Print: $149.07 The Phylogenesis of Beauty by P.Gaietto is a scientific treatise on the origins and the general evolution of beauty from the beginning of the world to our day.Beauty has never been the object of scientific study,nor has its evolution. Since Man, considered from the zoological point of view, is an animal (an anthropoid ape),Gaietto has integrated physical products,including art,into the general evolution of natural beauty,noting that that the former follow the same rules of transformation present in the evolution of the physical forms of living beings.The theory of the transformation of beauty concerns all the kingdoms of nature as they have appeared in chronological order from the earliest geological ages,as discovered by geologists,paleontologists,and paleoethnologists.The scientific analysis of beauty in human artifacts excludes questions of quality,even if they exist,and the ugliness,for by intention man produces only beautiful things.
