Abstract

This paper is the result of a comparative research between three areas: evolutionary biology, sexual psychology and empirical and philosophical aesthetics. The main subject is the “naked skin” phenomenon as man’s first aesthetic ornament and its particular transfiguration process in “clothing culture”, considered in the light of the works of Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud.
