"favored by the universe somehow"
With a large enough population, you are going to end up with the same representation (structure of neurons, glial cells etc) in some subset of brains.
As a painter, I am very aware that taste is not as universal as is constantly advertised. Some people like the shades of blue I use and some don't or are indifferent. Why I chose that blue and why they liked that blue is cause we probably share, in some small corner of a trillion brain cells, a small clump of structure that's exactly alike.
