    There would have to be a complete image recognizer
    implemented in the genes?
We have such patterns for detecting spiders and snakes from slight movements, so much so that you will sometimes pick it up when a leaf blows just so.

That does not seem to be a very complex pattern recognizer then. It does not recognize spiders, just small, fast movements. I seem to remember from school that it is quite easy to recognize such things with simple neural networks (even frog brains can do it).

I would think recognizing a breast would be more complex (since simply circles with dots in them are not as attractive, or are they?).
