Why do some people love biology?
With biology, you understand life and being of living things. You develop a more profound understanding of the human condition and our role in this bio-diverse world. You start understanding and respecting the diversity of life forms across this little world of ours – called Earth.

What is the biology of love?
The biology of love originates in the primitive parts of the brain—the emotional core of the human nervous system—that evolved long before the cerebral cortex. The brain of a human ‘in love’ is flooded with sensations, often transmitted by the vagus nerve, creating much of what we experience as emotion.
What’s interesting about biology?
Biology is inherently fascinating. Biology is unique because of the complexity of living things and how they interact with each other and the environment. It’s intriguing to think that many rocks and minerals on Earth originated from living things.
Why should I major in biology?
Biology majors have the opportunity to participate in world-class scientific research taking place within the Department of Biological Sciences. Students may join laboratories studying cancer, genetics, spinal cord injuries, food safety, viruses, brain development and many more.
What happens biologically when you fall in love?
When in love, neurochemicals like dopamine and oxytocin flood our brains in areas associated with pleasure and rewards, producing physical and psychological responses like less perceived pain, an addictive dependence, and a stronger desire for sex with your partner.
Is love a biological need?
Love is deeply biological. Without loving relationships, humans fail to flourish, even if all of their other basic needs are met. As such, love is clearly not “just” an emotion; it is a biological process that is both dynamic and bidirectional in several dimensions.
Is your biology a good match in a relationship?
It’s probably a good match, says Helen Fisher, PhD, a cultural anthropologist from Rutgers University and a leading researcher on love, attraction, and romance. One of her findings: Biology matters, and these two people’s biology — their chemical “profiles” — may complement each other nicely.
Is the biology of Love still a mystery?
“It’s all much less of a mystery than it was five years ago and certainly 30 years ago,” says Arthur Aron, PhD, a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and another top researcher in the field. The science of the biology of love is relatively new.
Is Love biological or cultural?
Who you love, where you love, how you express your love all have a huge cultural component. But the actual feeling of romantic love, that’s biological. Love often confounds–but Fisher has nonetheless spotted some interesting patterns. Catherine Gilman/SAPIENS
Does your biology complement each other?
One of her findings: Biology matters, and these two people’s biology — their chemical “profiles” — may complement each other nicely. In recent years, Fisher and a host of other researchers have been looking deep into our psyche and brains — helped by high-tech imaging and genetic analysis.
