How do chemicals in our bodies impact our love lives? 🤔 In this edition of English Rewind we talk about the science of love with this archive episode of the BBC Learning English programme Entertainment. We hear from Dr. Glenn Wilson, who has written a new book called ‘The Science of Love’. ❤️ Dr. Wilson was interviewed by Chris Evans on BBC Radio and talks about why we find some people attractive and others not. We also learn that a lot of attraction is based on features we have little or no control over… 😱 Join the conversation and tell us what you like to do on a date! 💖
