We re told that we live in a hierarchy of romantic inequality, in which desirability is predetermined by a narrow set of characteristics and where some people are marriage material while others are wired for promiscuity. Such ideas have their roots in a branch of science called evolutionary psychology, and over the past few decades its ideas have permeated our culture and fuelled a narrative that inspires despair and anxiety and, in its most extreme form, these ideas have been hijacked in the service of misogyny and violence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut this narrative is unscientific. The truth about human attraction and the way evolution plays out in our romantic lives is much more interesting and optimistic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eBonded by Evolution \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eoffers a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry.
