5.0 out of 5 stars Love and hate, May 30, 2005
This review is from: Love & Hate (Paperback)
This is a classic that should be on everyone's reading list. I. Eibl-Eibesfeldt is the founder of the discipline of human ethology a science which studies human behavior with tools and theories used in the study of the behavior of other animals. In this book Eibl-Eibesfeldt takes on two emotions which many seem to identify as being exclusive to humanity - love and hate. The book examines these and other emotions across cultures as well as pointing to some nonhuman analogues.

Worthy detail is spent on the non verbal cues humans give to each other and how those cues have spanned cultures and history.

A wonderful offering by one of the most important minds of this century.

Highly recommended

5.0 out of 5 stars What makes a child cute? What makes a woman sexy?, February 14, 2003
By 
Robertson Thomas (Hapcheon, Gyeongnam, South Korea) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
In this book, Eibl-Eibesfeldt examines human gestures and postures and their effect on the viewer. He backs up his claims with anthropological and zoological observations.

If there is any one great book on evolutionary psychology, this is it. Eibl-Eibesfeldt is a genius.
