We often talk about the “chemistry of love,” but the reality goes much deeper. Our attraction to others, the way relationships form, and even why love sometimes falls apart are strongly shaped by biology. Dr. Liat Yakir, a biologist specializing in genetics and science communication, explains how hormones, brain chemistry, and evolutionary forces influence who we fall for and how relationships unfold. She is the author of A Brief History of Love: What Attracts Us, How We Fall in Love and Why Biology Screws it All Up (https://amzn.to/3vkyiqn), and she shares fascinating insights into what’s really happening inside our brains and bodies when we experience love — along with a surprisingly practical prescription for building stronger relationships.
