How did Love Evolve
So, just how did love evolve?

What kind of love? The love of a parent for their child? The love of a spouse for their spouse? The love of a person for their work? Erotic love? Alturistic love? It seems to me that all these different kinds of love may have had seperate evolutionary causes.

i await to be corrected on those points  there is no genetic code for aesthetics as there is for eye colour and hair colour, so you do have a good question - where does it come from my answer is God, but that is because i am a christian and that is my personal faith, i cannot give a scientific answer C_P

Love didn't evolve. It's an eternal attribute. It has been around as long as God has been, which is forever.

I've wondered about the evolutionary origins of the human perception of beauty, too. I can understand and accept that the human perception of beauty in other humans may have an evolutionary basis. But I wonder about the ability to perceive beauty in a sunrise. What possible evolutionary purpose does that serve?

I am not sure animals don't have a sense of beauty.
Mostly when they settle down to rest they chose the nicest spot around. Birds sing for joy not just to communicate. many also collect pretty things for their nest, They are also attracted by partners who have the most beautiful plumage. Terry______________________- Amen!

Well, as Painted Wolf often reminds us, elephants are known to mourn their dead, so it is it such a jump from that to the notion that elephants love?

So what is love other than an extremely strong attraction between two people?
Or the love between a mother and a son or daughter (which tends to be stronger than the father.... who traditionally is out there getting food as the mother stays with the young) If one uses their head it seems to be to be obvious how love has evolved... We already know that it is evolution wise better for a man and a woman to stay together to raise the kids... Whenever something is better for an animal, evolution tends to lend a hand to make that animal want to do that... Like eating... there is a drive for an animal to eat... Love, that drive is just there to make people stay with each other... A mother raising her young? again... love came about to force people to do this. =) That is my understanding at least.
