Abstract

Usually love finds its place in literature, an ideal romantics hold closely to their hearts. Studies, however, show that love belongs more in the logical world of science rather than the idealistic realm of romance. Darwinian evolution, neurotransmitters and autonomic functioning appear to provide the main basis for love, with its true root lying in the brain rather than the heart. While love varies in its intensity and form from the lust present in a one night stand to the tender warmth between a mother and child, romantic love exhibits a very specific set of traits across all couples. In the past, romantic love has been put in terms of heterosexual couples because homosexual couples were thought to be unnatural perversions, but recent evidence proves that homosexuality has a far more natural and biological basis than was previously thought, suggesting that homosexuals experience the same romantic love as heterosexuals.
