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."

科学和浪漫似乎水火不容,就像理性和感性恰好对立。一本科学系的书籍,真的能找到爱情的答案吗?遇见这本《情种起源》,是在内心最彷徨之时。 作者海伦•费舍尔在开篇写道:“为什么我们相爱。为什么我们选择自己选择的那个人。男人和女人在各自的浪漫感情中有何不同?一见...
评分《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...
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...
作者的文笔真不讨我喜欢
评分another book for breakup therapy, and prolly the one that helped the most so far
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!
评分居家隔离闲翻书. web of lust, romantic love, and attachment. love is a drive system rather than purely an emotion. the romantic love emerged when ancestors started to use language to construct culture. a physiology and neuroscientific perspective
评分没看太懂,有种感觉Fisher企图用比较客观的角度来写love,所以她列举很多实验和调查。但是人文类的实验影响因子太多了,不是很有说服力,nice try...
