I also keep thinking about this mystery. One of the things that might be discovered eventually could be an instinct of beauty, perhaps associated with the ludic instinct. Going by Darwin, why beauty should have persisted as a positive thing for man is another question. At least I can't see its survival value (except for some of us, of course).
