Is falling in love a natural instinct humans have?

@BabyLonia I wonder if it existed before civilisation.

@SW-User I think so, when we were hunter gatherers there would be units

@BabyLonia There would be togetherness. But could that togetherness be seen as being 'in love'?

@SW-User I'm guessing they would mourn their deaths, but yea they might not be writing poetry and stuff 😂

@BabyLonia LOL!! They present with berries from women or hunts from men. Special cuts for their sweeties.

@SW-User quite possibly did. But it's got me thinking, just because they weren't civilised doesn't mean they didn't feel.

Although I remember reading ages ago that the seven year itch is actually more akin to four years because when we were hunter gatherers 4 years would be the time it would take for you to breed have a child that no longer needed a mans care. I cannot remember it in much depth it was forever ago

@BabyLonia Interesting to think about. Or even find out, lol.

@SW-User it is

I still think you'd enjoy the writings of Alice Roberts, especially her anthropological ones

@BabyLonia I probably will. :) When it calls for me, I'll answer it. :P
