PrepTest 28, Section 3, Question 18
The human brain and its associated mental capacities evolved to assist self-preservation. Thus, the capacity to make aesthetic judgments is an adaptation to past environments in which humans lived. So an individual's aesthetic judgments must be evaluated in terms of the extent to which they promote the survival of that individual.

Which one of the following is a principle that would, if valid, provide the strongest justification for the reasoning above?
All human adaptations to past environments were based on the human brain and its associated mental capacities.
Human capacities that do not contribute to the biological success of the human species cannot be evaluated.
If something develops to serve a given function, the standard by which it must be judged is how well it serves that function.
Judgments that depend on individual preference or taste cannot be evaluated as true or false.
Anything that enhances the proliferation of a species is to be valued highly.
