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."

給一個沒有科學常識的人解釋科學研究成果,這大概是世界上最難的事情之一。其難度不亞於教會老媽如何使用計算機除瞭QQ農場以外的功能——你得不斷停下來解釋一些你認為對方應該知道但其實對方完全不知道的東西;一不小心就得從三百年前開始講起、講到第二百年、對方又把前一百...
評分我是抱著讀一本泡妞攻略的心態去打開這本書的。 讀完之後,我纔發現,我錯瞭。 因為它不僅僅超越瞭所有的泡妞攻略,還超越瞭所有的愛情理論。我第一次看到如此嚴謹,科學,創新的研究愛情的著作。 一直以來,越不帶感情的東西越容易得到深入的研究,比如數學,物理,化學,...
評分看瞭這本《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...
評分排版有錯誤,不嚴謹 內容大量引用莫名其妙的詩詞歌賦故事 翻譯也有問題 參考這位豆友的評論 http://book.douban.om/review/6895843/ 不過隨便翻翻還是有所收獲。 它告訴我們所有情緒的波動都不過是生理機製以及原始本能 人類說白瞭就是一群動物 戀愛、失戀、嫉妒、痛恨、婚姻...
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...
