Yes Bill, but what is the NATURE, vis a vis, biological substrate from which
intense EMOTIONAL attachment arises? Only humans LOVE.

Fear is more important than love, as well as physical desire. After all -
these
are the only irreplacable features of human emotion as the elimination of
either
would have meant the end of the human race.
There is however no doubt that all the emotions serve some purpose in
keeping us
going or they would not be nearly the same across all cultures. Jealousy,
anger,
fear, love, disgust, trust, the will to cooperate etc... all serve as the
mortor
in the wall of sentience.
And it may be that fear and sex are the most important - but they are
certainly
no my favorites - well, fear isn't anyway! I throw my hat in with those that
like love the most - I'm an affectionate man and I think Love is the shit!
