Why we love with evolutionary anthropologist, Dr Anna Machin

In this episode, Emma-Louise is joined by evolutionary anthropologist, Dr Anna Machin, to discuss the topic of love - why we love, how we love, what's happening in our brains and in our bodies when we fall in love....

If you've ever felt like you're going a little crazy when in the early stages of romance, Dr Machin explains why. In a similar vein, she also breaks down some of the most enduring cultural myths surrounding love and romance, outlining why we get this topic so very wrong. The idea of 'the one'? Bullsh*t. But there is a biological explanation for the notion of soulmates.

If you're curious to learn more about the ideas discussed in this episode make sure to read Dr Machin's book, Why We Love, which we found fascinating.

Finally, if you want to join a live recording of the Sex Talks podcast you can find details here.
