What is it that makes us humans enjoy art when it serves such little practical use in our everyday lives and why does it vary so much from person to person?
On this week's show, we'll be speaking to author Anjan Chatterjee about his book, 'The Aesthetic Brain: How we evolved to desire beauty and enjoy art'.
We all know that cultural differences and our social habitus can have an influence on our tastes, however, Chatterjee explores how our biological make-up can help determine what art, music and other objects/experiences of beauty we can find pleasurable through the relatively new understanding of neuroaesthetics.
Tune in to Futureproof on Saturday at 10am for what promises to be a fascinating show!
