dama heef. .

Christ, we do really need a science section. .

Men on here know nothing about the female anatomy except for what they see outside. .They do not know how the female anatomy performs, I bet many do not even know why women have periods or how they have periods. .

Dayokanu, did that face not turn you off? My God, you need help!!

Nayah!!


nanga def?

Well, you should have know it was not going to go anywhere.

^^What about the woman that gave birth to you?

'Allo, 'allo!

Na ngeen def?

Lol, nayah you are calling everyone mak mak how old are you sef?

Hm, that is very weird. . .

@claremont, you are just mouthing for for no reason. .

evolutionary ties bind a mother and her offspring.
What is the meaning of this? This is your answer? Evolutionary ties bind a mother to her offspring. .This is your answer?

I have asked you so many times to just post the links and research you found on the matter and you are still telling me you base your arguments on hardcore scientific fact. .I want to see with my eyes these so-called hardcore scientific facts. .It is not a hard thing to do. .Just post where you got these hard core scientific facts. .

hehe i thought the same when i saw that. but 4 some reason, i feel proud of them when I see that. brings tears to my eyes.[/quote]lool, do you see yourself in them?

They are actually very black. .

. they just prefer the flesh of the occasional foreigner/fisherman, who has had the misfortune to wash up on their shores. wat beautiful & unique race.

Lool. .

I watched the videos, they are actually jumping side to side. . So these are the people that jump side to side with spears in their hands and these western people think its us Africans. .

claremont:
@Kandiikane: You have only gone through 4 pages, that thread has 10 pages of evidence. This thread might also interest you >>>God does not exist, this is the proof https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-710647.0.html; after all people say God=Love, and Love=God.

I have not said Love is God but for you to prove love does not exist. .

I want you to tell me why I grieve when a close family member dies. .I want you to tell me why a mother would rather die than let anything happen to her child. .

Claremont, I have gone through four pages of your "love does not exist but a delusion thread" and I have not seen one evidence or link and it is really bugging me. .You cannot bring something up and say science say love does not exist because science says so but yet I have not seen one scientific evidence of your argument. .

The scientific tale of love begins innocently enough, with voles. The prairie vole is a sociable creature, one of the only 3% of mammal species that appear to form monogamous relationships. Mating between prairie voles is a tremendous 24-hour effort. After this, they bond for life. They prefer to spend time with each other, groom each other for hours on end and nest together. They avoid meeting other potential mates. The male becomes an aggressive guard of the female. And when their pups are born, they become affectionate and attentive parents. However, another vole, a close relative called the montane vole, has no interest in partnership beyond one-night-stand sex. What is intriguing is that these vast differences in behaviour are the result of a mere handful of genes. The two vole species are more than 99% alike, genetically.

When prairie voles Be Intimate, two hormones called oxytocin and vasopressin are released. If the release of these hormones is blocked, prairie-voles' sex becomes a fleeting affair, like that normally enjoyed by their rakish montane cousins. Conversely, if prairie voles are given an injection of the hormones, but prevented from Being Intimate, they will still form a preference for their chosen partner. In other words, researchers can make prairie voles fall in love — or whatever the vole equivalent of this is — with an injection.

In 2000, Andreas Bartels and Semir Zeki of University College, London, located the areas of the brain activated by romantic love. They took students who said they were madly in love, put them into a brain scanner, and looked at their patterns of brain activity.

The results were surprising. For a start, a relatively small area of the human brain is active in love, compared with that involved in, say, ordinary friendship. “It is fascinating to reflect”, the pair conclude, “that the face that launched a thousand ships should have done so through such a limited expanse of cortex.” The second surprise was that the brain areas active in love are different from the areas activated in other emotional states, such as fear and anger. Parts of the brain that are love-bitten include the one responsible for gut feelings, and the ones which generate the euphoria induced by drugs such as cocaine. So the brains of people deeply in love do not look like those of people experiencing strong emotions, but instead like those of people snorting coke. Love, in other words, uses the neural mechanisms that are activated during the process of addiction. “We are literally addicted to love,” Dr Young observes. Like the prairie voles.

We call it love. It feels like love. But the most exhilarating of all human emotions is probably nature’s beautiful way of keeping the human species alive and reproducing.
With an irresistible cocktail of chemicals, our brain entices us to fall in love. We believe we’re choosing a partner. But we may merely be the happy victims of nature’s lovely plan.
It’s not what you say,
Psychologists have shown it takes between 90 seconds and 4 minutes to decide if you fancy someone.
Research has shown this has little to do with what is said, rather
55% is through body language
38% is the tone and speed of their voice
Only 7% is through what they say
The 3 stages of love
Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in the States has proposed 3 stages of love – lust, attraction and attachment. Each stage might be driven by different hormones and chemicals.
Stage 1: Lust
This is the first stage of love and is driven by the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen – in both men and women.
Stage 2: Attraction
This is the amazing time when you are truly love-struck and can think of little else. Scientists think that three main neurotransmitters are involved in this stage; adrenaline, dopamine and serotonin.
Adrenaline
The initial stages of falling for someone activates your stress response, increasing your blood levels of adrenalin and cortisol. This has the charming effect that when you unexpectedly bump into your new love, you start to sweat, your heart races and your mouth goes dry.
Dopamine
Helen Fisher asked newly ‘love struck’ couples to have their brains examined and discovered they have high levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine. This chemical stimulates ‘desire and reward’ by triggering an intense rush of pleasure. It has the same effect on the brain as taking cocaine!
Fisher suggests “couples often show the signs of surging dopamine: increased energy, less need for sleep or food, focused attention and exquisite delight in smallest details of this novel relationship” .
Serotonin
And finally, serotonin. One of love's most important chemicals that may explain why when you’re falling in love, your new lover keeps popping into your thoughts.
Does love change the way you think?
A landmark experiment in Pisa, Italy showed that early love (the attraction phase) really changes the way you think.
Dr Donatella Marazziti, a psychiatrist at the University of Pisa advertised for twenty couples who'd been madly in love for less than six months. She wanted to see if the brain mechanisms that cause you to constantly think about your lover, were related to the brain mechanisms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

By analysing blood samples from the lovers, Dr Marazitti discovered that serotonin levels of new lovers were equivalent to the low serotonin levels of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder patients.

Love needs to be blind
Newly smitten lovers often idealise their partner, magnifying their virtues and explaining away their flaws says Ellen Berscheid, a leading researcher on the psychology of love.
New couples also exalt the relationship itself. “It's very common to think they have a relationship that's closer and more special than anyone else's”. Psychologists think we need this rose-tinted view. It makes us want to stay together to enter the next stage of love – attachment.
Stage 3: Attachment
Attachment is the bond that keeps couples together long enough for them to have and raise children. Scientists think there might be two major hormones involved in this feeling of attachment; oxytocin and vasopressin. Oxytocin - The cuddle hormone
Oxytocin is a powerful hormone released by men and women during org[i]a[/i]sm.
It probably deepens the feelings of attachment and makes couples feel much closer to one another after they have Were Intimate. The theory goes that the more sex a couple has, the deeper their bond becomes.
Oxytocin also seems to help cement the strong bond between mum and baby and is released during childbirth. It is also responsible for a mum’s bosom automatically releasing milk at the mere sight or sound of her young baby.
Diane Witt, assistant professor of psychology from New York has showed that if you block the natural release of oxytocin in sheep and rats, they reject their own young.
Conversely, injecting oxytocin into female rats who’ve never Were Intimate, caused them to fawn over another female’s young, nuzzling the pups and protecting them as if they were their own.
Vasopressin
Vasopressin is another important hormone in the long-term commitment stage and is released after sex.
Vasopressin (also called anti-diuretic hormone) works with your kidneys to control thirst. Its potential role in long-term relationships was discovered when scientists looked at the prairie vole.
Prairie voles indulge in far more sex than is strictly necessary for the purposes of reproduction. They also – like humans - form fairly stable pair-bonds.
When male prairie voles were given a drug that suppresses the effect of vasopressin, the bond with their partner deteriorated immediately as they lost their devotion and failed to protect their partner from new suitors.
And finally … how to fall in love
Find a complete stranger.
Reveal to each other intimate details about your lives for half an hour.
Then, stare deeply into each other’s eyes without talking for four minutes.
York psychologist, Professor Arthur Arun, has been studying why people fall in love.
He asked his subjects to carry out the above 3 steps and found that many of his couples felt deeply attracted after the 34 minute experiment. Two of his subjects later got married.

Claremont, I want scientific evidence saying love does not exist. .Any links outside of nairaland?

claremont:
Let me tell you what the honest truth is, which I believe you know already!
You "love" because you believe that "love" exists, your belief in "love" or "God" is not backed by any scientific fact whatsoever. I make my assertions on the basis of firm science, not on the basis of my beliefs, and the scientific world overwhelmingly agrees that "love" has not, does not, and will never exist . I do understand that you and everyone else have a right to believe in "love", but don't use science to try to justify your personal belief system.

I would like you to give me the research  or evidence you found that says LOVE does not exist. .Please, I am waiting. .

oh right. . .

I was doing research on the andamese people and I found out that their last ancient language speak died last year. . And that people have tried going there so many times but they would get shot by arrows lol

wooooah he's a moderator!

I think his name must be crossed out now. . . Haha Yea, in really sick of ppl like that

So? Moderators can be banned and with his attitude and the way walks around n/l he should be stripped off his title. .
