See, this is where I see them as natural selection on the universal scale. Billions of years of what has worked out, leaving behind billions of years of what has not. Humans are much different in their makeup than they were 200 years ago. They tend to be taller and less broad (or artists of yesteryear were REALLY bad). Our lifestyles have changed, and our physicalities have had to adapt. A sunset isn't amazing, it's the prismatic effect of the light you see everyday, bending around the earth. A snowcapped mountain? Of course! It snows up there... it's cold on top of tall mountains. A baby is a baby... human or otherwise. They're just little vesions of the parental creatures. Is it all wonderful and beautiful? Sure it is! Is it amazing? Not so much, no...
