Millions of songs, tales, books, films were written about it. It's created and vanished every second, throwing women and men into an emotional swirl - 'Love'.
But what love exactly is - Scientifically? How is it created in our brains? Why it occupies our minds so much? How do we choose the one, and the next one…? What our genes tells us about parity? Is it built to last?
During our talk we will answer these questions by reviewing cutting edge scientific research on love and parity. Armed with the fascinating scientific insights we will try to predict how human love and parity patterns will change in the future - changes that are already taking place right now.
Liat holds a Ph.D. from the Molecular Genetics Department at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot. Her research interests include topics in biochemistry, genetics and evolution. Today she is passionate about science communication and science education for the benefit of society. In addition, she studies the evolutionary roots of human behaviors, in its female and male colors.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

Knowing that love is just a bunch of chemicals doesn't diminish the mystery or the romance, because the romance is in the actual conscious experience of love, which is like explaining what a sunset looks like or what the wind on your face feels like. We can explain those things scientifically too, but that doesn't take away from their power.

Interesting lecture, but I do have some doubts. For one, I got the hunch that a polygamist society will be far more volatile; reason being, young men with lots of testosterone who want to find a female. It could be a bit unstable so to speak. Nor do I completely know how it would be for the kid. Having said that, the "natural" thing, if you can use such a term, is that a child is taken care of by society. By that I mean not the state, but the extended family like uncles grandparents and further. In current society where moving is an easy thing, you don't have the option. This is just brainstorming by me, and not fixed ideas.

Love is not quantifiable by science., so as lust, As a result, the two are confused. Especially modest lust vs obvious extreem lust which are driven by a series of chemical bonds and interactions. It's sad that most often, people fall in lust to each other and think they are in love with each other, when things go wrong, they are inclined to try address the non existing problem. . . With that said, Love is far beyond the physical bonds and has more to do with a consistant /permanent choice to put the other person first instead on oneself.

Simple you want to know what LOVE is? “We love God because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19). God is the first cause of all that is good and right in the world. Wherever and whenever love exists on earth, it only exists because it is a reflection of God's perfect love that created us and sustains us. The Bible also teaches that “God is love ❤️ The Bible has a lot to say about the bonds of love and devotion. ... 1 Corinthians 13:4-5: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." That’s love ❤️

Love has several elements but they must be discharged all at once. “A grilled cheese sandwich is a dish that requires at least two elements, bread and cheese. Without either element, we cannot make the dish. Likewise, if your action did not include all the elements of love, then you did not love properly.” The book, Thumos Adulthood Love Collaboration, by Mark Canny and Nickantony Quach, gives us “a direct, practical, and cogent answer to the following questions without resorting to gimmickry: what is love? What is it made of; how does it work; is there an expected outcome; how do we discharge the power of love; who does or does not love me; who do I love?” More at Ri4C Book 701, or #thumosbook

@PatrickSteil
@PatrickSteil 5 лет назад
Agree! Love is a choice. We have much more advanced brains that any other animal species - one that can make rational (or irrational) choices. I believe strongly that the problem is more that people mix up love and attraction. I am married for almost 3 decades. I have occasional attractions to other people, but I choose every day to love and cherish my wife and the life we have built. The day I choose to spend time with someone I am attracted to I choose to love someone else and it all falls apart. To try and argue that humans would be better off practicing polygamy is ridiculous. Look at how deeply it hurts when one of our deep relationships is broken. Imagine a society filled with that. Science can't be used to tell us what to do. It explains how stuff works, not why or what to do about it.

sorry I disagree, just cause you find some gene in those two similar species who mates differently doesn't mean it(gene) are related to mating. Anyone who has a scientific background could judge this. It is extremely hard to tell what gene is responsible for what. It's just like an excuse to justify such behaviours.

Polygamy is rare up until farming happened and for some reason these systems totally collapsed later into monogamy, cheating is common but polygamy is practically non existent even in cultures that don't have a taboo against it. Also the bottom ranking incas probably had 0 women or 1 woman between multiple men although what probably happened was a lot of the concubines cheated with the lower status men but that is conjecture.

To put my two cents in, I'd say to each their own. If you want to be monogamous, go ahead, as long as you are in agreement with your partner about it. But today's society is super controlling and pushes monogamy onto everyone, regardless. It's legally NOT possible to be married to two people at the same time at the moment, and THAT needs to change.
