THURSDAY 5 MAY | 6-7pm BST | 1-2pm EDT | ON-DEMAND   LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER - ONLY TWO DAYS TO GO! Love is an awe inspiring and complex phenomenon. In this online talk, evolutionary anthropologist Anna Machin will take the audience through a rollercoaster ride of the why, how, who and what of human love.  Using the latest evidence from neuroscience, genetics, psychology and physiology Anna will explain how love evolved as a form of biological bribery, that it is both a universal and highly personal experience, that love is the greatest factor in our health and longevity and that as humans we are lucky to be able to experience love with so many people and beings including dogs, gods, lovers and friends. Love sits at the centre of what it is to be human.
