Is an aversion to boredom evolutionarily conserved?

Asked by shilolo (18075points) January 14th, 2009

I can think of many examples where we culturally are constantly changing. For example, fashion, music, architecture, art, etc. Why haven’t we found the perfect song, or the perfect clothing? Why do we feel the need to constantly change? Is a desire for change a consequence of an aversion to boredom, or is it akin to risk-taking behavior?
