N2 - The article is an invited response to a target article by Joseph Carroll entitled "An evolutionary paradigm for literary study". It argues that the target article misuse the fact that works of art are based on adaptations that were fitness-enhancing in the era of evolutionary adaptations to claim that great work of art are also automatically fitness-enhancing in the present day environment, at that there are simple correllations between whether a work of art has a high aesthetic value and whether it is fitness-enhancing or not. Keywords : Evolutionary aesthetics, film theory, literary theory, naturalist fallacy
