Helen Fisher's courageous investigations of romantic love -- its evolution, its biochemical foundations and its vital importance to human society -- are informing and transforming the way we understand ourselves. Fisher describes love as a universal human drive (stronger than the sex drive; stronger than thirst or hunger; stronger perhaps than the will to live), and her many areas of inquiry shed light on timeless human mysteries, like why we choose one partner over another.
Almost unique among scientists, Fisher explores the science of love without losing a sense of romance: Her work frequently invokes poetry, literature and art -- along with scientific findings -- helping us appreciate our love affair with love itself. In her research, and in books such as Anatomy of Love and 2004's Why We Love, Fisher looks at questions with real impact on modern life. Her latest research raises serious concerns about the widespread, long-term use of antidepressants, which may undermine our natural process of attachment by tampering with hormone levels in the brain.
"In hands as skilled and sensitive as Fisher's, scientific analysis of love only adds to its magic."
Scientific American

费舍尔干了件很煞风景的事情,偏要把爱情这么浪漫的东西,试图用生物学去探寻其运作原理,把本该浪漫美妙的情爱之美转换为枯燥冰冷的工程机器。然而人类有别于其他物种的最大特征,就是在动物吸引与繁殖生存的本能之外,消耗在情爱上的惊人热情。首先要相信动物也是有爱情的,...
评分看了这本《情种起源》,首先给我的感触就是美国人就是厉害,能把人类最原始的问题研究的如此的透彻。 在我国的历史上,关于性情的研究也有先例。“情不知所起,一往而情深”,“食色性也”,以及“性格”等词语都和性情有关。但是,从科学的角度研究情和性的根源则没有过。这...

评分 评分给一个没有科学常识的人解释科学研究成果,这大概是世界上最难的事情之一。其难度不亚于教会老妈如何使用计算机除了QQ农场以外的功能——你得不断停下来解释一些你认为对方应该知道但其实对方完全不知道的东西;一不小心就得从三百年前开始讲起、讲到第二百年、对方又把前一百...
Interesting scientific facts and insights.
评分我看prairie vole的例子已经看吐了。。。但是Fisher大姐举的各种其它动物的例子实在是不吸引人阿!
