Love is a transformative experience, one we sometimes imagine to be uniquely human. In this talk, Dr. Phelps will draw on evolutionary biology, genomics and neuroscience to ask about how and why animals form enduring bonds, and what it can tell us about the bonds we form with one another.
Steven Phelps is an Associate Professor of Integrative Biology at the University of Texas at Austin and the Director of the Center for Brain, Behavior and Evolution. His writing for the public has appeared in Nature, The Atlantic, and Aeon.
