The chemical basis for love has been explored by such biological sciences as evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology and neuroscience. Specific chemical substances such as oxytocin are studied in the context of their roles in producing human experiences and behaviors that are associated with love.

Evolutionary psychology

From the perspective of evolutionary psychology the experiences and behaviors associated with love can be investigated in terms of how they have been shaped by human evolution. For example, it has been suggested that human language has been selected during evolution as a type of "mating signal" that allows potential mates to judge reproductive fitness. Miller described evolutionary psychology as a starting place for further research: "Cognitive neuroscience could try to localize courtship adaptations in the brain. Most importantly, we need much better observations concerning real-life human courtship, including the measurable aspects of courtship that influence mate choice, the reproductive (or at least sexual) consequences of individual variation in those aspects, and the social-cognitive and emotional mechanisms of falling in love." Since Darwin's time there have been similar speculations about the evolution of human interest in music also as a potential signaling system for attracting and judging the fitness of potential mates. It has been suggested that the human capacity to experience love has been evolved as a signal to potential mates that the partner will be a good parent and be likely to help pass genes to future generations.

Is a "fact" the only truth?
Q. Forgive me, this isn't really a jab at atheism in any way, so I don't want to start any flame wars. I just want to build a better understanding of the views of atheists because I find the idea of atheism interesting. Some of the following questions may seem like I'm trying to disprove atheism but that is not my point, I want see how deep atheism can go. Do you see everything in black and white or should I say from a scientific/logical point of view? Even though that view might still be theory and not proved. Or until it is proved, is it dismissed as gibberish spoken by a quack? Do you acknowledge the fact that there are some things that science cannot explain or do you take the view, that it will all be explained someday. Do you view… [cont.]

A. It is said that the French invented Love to mask our emotion of our animal selves. (I don't believe they invented it:) We are social animals; therefore we perform favours for a very close kin and ourselves. The reason we care for a close kin, is for the survival of our genes. You will care more for your own child, brothers or sister, than a distant cousin because a direct sibling or child are genetically are closer to you. Rock, R&B or classical are usually to do with nurture (cultural) than nature. This is why the young do not go for crazy for music from the 1920's? Yes, love is a lie, so is what we see and I am sure what we feel. The brain takes all the input from the outside world, and simulates the outside world, that our… [cont.]

i have a question for 'atheists'?
Q. Before I ask, in no way do I mean to offend your beliefs. I am just trying to understand your point of view. If you have sarcasm, it's not necessary to answer, you'll only be wasting your precious time. the reason i said "atheists" is because I am having a hard time understanding how it's possible not to believe there is a God. And I could very well be phrasing this wrong but I'm going to try anyway. Let's assume you believe in Love. If you don't then I understand how it does not apply to you. But for those of you who do. Isn't that the same thing? You believe that Love is the reason for a lot of things, your marriage, significant other, family, friends. You don't see Love, there is no scientific proof of Love, but you still think it… [cont.]
