Anthropologist Helen Fisher studies gender differences and the evolution of human emotions. She's best known as an expert on romantic love, and her beautifully penned books -- including Anatomy of Love and Why We Love -- lay bare the mysteries of our most treasured emotion.
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."

評分 評分《情种起源》用科学解释爱情,很多有趣的例子,有点意思,女性喜欢金钱和地位高的雄性是护育幼雏的本能,男性喜欢腰臀比为0.7的年轻女性,在寻求短期情人时,他们更倾向于无视一个女人的无脑,喜欢有过去的女人,而选择长期伴侣时,无论如何,他们会对基本品格变得吹毛求疵起来...
評分现在读到第四章~~爱之网:情欲、浪漫和依附。以后读完可能会更新~~ 读书要先看封面,读前记看名家怎么推荐。《情种起源》这个书名明显模仿达尔文的《物种起源》嘛~~这噱头有点大;再来看看出版社~~湖南科学技术出版社,我去~~中文版的《时间简史》《果壳里的世界》就是这个出...
評分我是抱着读一本泡妞攻略的心态去打开这本书的。 读完之后,我才发现,我错了。 因为它不仅仅超越了所有的泡妞攻略,还超越了所有的爱情理论。我第一次看到如此严谨,科学,创新的研究爱情的著作。 一直以来,越不带感情的东西越容易得到深入的研究,比如数学,物理,化学,...
我看prairie vole的例子已經看吐瞭。。。但是Fisher大姐舉的各種其它動物的例子實在是不吸引人阿!
评分lust,attraction and attachment
评分閑書一本 一掃而過就好
评分沒看太懂,有種感覺Fisher企圖用比較客觀的角度來寫love,所以她列舉很多實驗和調查。但是人文類的實驗影響因子太多瞭,不是很有說服力,nice try...
评分作者的文筆真不討我喜歡
