“Of course, it’s highly unlikely that love first appeared in humans with no evolutionary precursors. The renowned biologist, Bernd Heinrich, a raven expert, believes these amazing birds fall in love. In Mind of the Raven, Heinrich writes, “Since ravens have long-term mates, I suspect that they fall in love like us, simply because some internal reward is required to maintain a long-term pair bond.” In his book Here I Am - Where are You? The Behavior of the Greylag Goose, Nobel laureate Konrad Lorenz observed that ” … the greylag goose’s peculiar process of ‘falling in love’ in many ways resembles its human counterpart …” After bonding, males and females are strongly devoted to one another.”~Marc Bekoff, Professor Emeritus of Evolutionary Biology
