It's all about your chemistry
Noted anthropologist Dr Helen Fisher, who lead groundbreaking research into how the brain deals with love and passion, has died at the age of 79 after suffering endometrial cancer.
In 1968 Fisher graduated from New York University with a BA in Anthropology and Psychology. She earned her PhD in 1975 in Physical Anthropology: Human Evolution, Primatology, and Human Sexual Behavior, and set about studying how sexual and other selection mechanisms affected human evolution.

Shortly after the 2005 research was published, dating site Match.com hired her as a chief scientific advisor for a new site – dubbed Chemistry.com – and developed the Fisher Temperament Inventory . This used brain chemistry and identified four key character types: Curious/Energetic, Cautious/Social Norm Compliant, Analytical/Tough-minded, and Prosocial/Empathetic. It linked these to the body's use of dopamine, serotonin, testosterone, and estrogen/oxytocin.
