Anatomy of Love

A Natural History of Mating, Marriage, and Why We Stray
Book • 1994
This book is a cutting-edge tour de force that traces human family life from its origins in Africa over 4 million years ago to the Internet dating sites and bedrooms of today.

It covers various aspects such as natural courting ploys, the biology of adultery, love addictions, chemically-based personality styles, worldwide patterns of divorce, and how brain science can help in making and keeping happy partnerships.

Fisher examines marriage and divorce in 58 societies and adultery in 42 cultures, arguing that modern patterns of love and sex echo our ancient past, and she remains optimistic about the future of relationships in the digital age.
