Blog #2: Beauty

 This Ted talk tells us about the evolution of beauty through Darwin's theory. it talks about some of the categories people find beautiful, it talks about whether if the beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a question answered at the end of this ted talk.i found the part which the presenter told us that all people find the same landscape beautiful because it's the landscape where all humans evolved, it was a fact I would like to know more about. his last statement "beauty is deep in our minds" was also interesting as I like how the whole ted talk got us to this point of view.
