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."

看瞭這本《情種起源》,首先給我的感觸就是美國人就是厲害,能把人類最原始的問題研究的如此的透徹。 在我國的曆史上,關於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”等詞語都和性情有關。但是,從科學的角度研究情和性的根源則沒有過。這...
評分看名字,這是本很浪漫的書,情種起源?因為沒有英文原名,不知道廬山真麵目,暫且歸功於譯者,翻譯得太棒瞭~~~~情種,在中文裏常用來形容癡情人;從字麵來看,可以解讀為愛情的種子,跟本書的內容,一語雙關啊。 通篇看下來,作者米國博士,行文非常嚴謹,每個引用都有索引,...

評分《情種起源》用科學解釋愛情,很多有趣的例子,有點意思,女性喜歡金錢和地位高的雄性是護育幼雛的本能,男性喜歡腰臀比為0.7的年輕女性,在尋求短期情人時,他們更傾嚮於無視一個女人的無腦,喜歡有過去的女人,而選擇長期伴侶時,無論如何,他們會對基本品格變得吹毛求疵起來...
評分費捨爾乾瞭件很煞風景的事情,偏要把愛情這麼浪漫的東西,試圖用生物學去探尋其運作原理,把本該浪漫美妙的情愛之美轉換為枯燥冰冷的工程機器。然而人類有彆於其他物種的最大特徵,就是在動物吸引與繁殖生存的本能之外,消耗在情愛上的驚人熱情。首先要相信動物也是有愛情的,...
