Choose your Cupid

Cupid, or the God Eros, is often represented as a mischievous, chubby child. Could it be because Eros generally serves biology's procreation agenda above any other? Martie Haselton, a psychologist at UCLA characterizes romantic love as a "commitment device," a mechanism that encourages two humans to form a lasting bond. Bonds improve the chances that children survive to reproductive age fed and cared for by two parents rather than one. "Natural selection has built love to make us feel romantic," she says. ...
