The science of love under the spotlight at Durham University. Poets and writers have done their best to understand love but it remains a mystery. Now researchers at Durham University are setting out to unravel the science of love. The Durham psychologists and anthropologists hope to get a better evolutionary understanding of the emotional 'fuzziness' of love. They are now calling on adults, young and old, to share their thoughts, anonymously, on love and their present or past partners through an online survey. The researchers believe love can be divided up into three components: lust, romance and attachment with each of the elements with its own distinct function. However, questions remain.
