Mate: A Video Analysis

When looking at mate selection, I agree with Dr. Helen Fisher’s findings that attraction is one of the primary factors in mate selection (DNews, 2014). There is a reason that two complete strangers can come together in a room and end up intimate with each other whereas two other strangers can come together in a room and never see one other again.

Also, does hormone replacement therapy have any effect on the hormone types of future children born. During infertility treatments patients take hormones. Is it possible that a mother taking additional estrogen to aid in fertilization could heightening the level of estrogen/ oxytocin in an incubating
