Is falling in love a natural instinct humans have?

Or is it something we're conditioned into experiencing when certain factors meet?

A natural ability.

@MethDozer So like something that evolved from a togetherness during the hunting and gathering period to something more possessive?

@SW-User I think so. The actual concept of love I think is something that evolved with our more complex brains ability to engage in reason and other more abstract and complex thought processes.

We developed as most other mammals to form social groups and find mates, then as we evolved we became able to turn that into love from our ability to empathise and think abstractly.

@MethDozer I believe so as well.
