  • More than fifty percent of married women, a figure very similar to that of men, commit adultery, and most of them without the slightest hint of guilt. Will they tell themselves that the need or impulse to be unfaithful has been proven to be inscribed in our genes? According to the author of this sharp and intelligent dissection of love, it is one of the most likely explanations for a phenomenon that has been observed in the most disparate cultures and in various periods of history. But it is not only to adultery that Helen E. Fisher points the weapons of her critical apparatus. With this work she makes a vast comparative study of mating as practiced in different animal species and in various cultures of the past and present. And this is how the relationship between men and women, and between men, women and power, acquires new meanings. "Fisher unravels the very old and complicated saga of love with remarkable verve and wit" (Kate Saunders, The Sunday Times); "Using all the weapons of biology and anthropology, Fisher offers us a novel and compelling account of the origins and necessity of marriage and love" (E. O. Wilson).
