Ep 93We are not a monogamous species.

In this episode of Getting Open, Andrea Miller sits down with evolutionary anthropologist and Oxford researcher Dr. Anna Machin to explore the science of love — from why fathers are biologically vital to their children’s development to how brain chemistry explains connection, heartbreak, and even parasocial love. Discover what really bonds us, how “maternal gatekeeping” can harm relationships, and the surprising chemical that actually powers lifelong love. 💖 Don’t forget to like this video & subscribe:https://www.youtube.com/c/tangodaily Chapters:01:00 – Meet Dr. Anna Machin: Oxford’s Love Scientist03:34 – The “Deadbeat Dad” Myth05:11 – How Fatherhood Shaped Human Evolution10:24 – Three Things Every Great Dad Does15:15 – Is It Ever Too Late to Repair Father–Child Bonds?20:08 – Breaking Generational Patterns: Becoming the Father You Needed23:47 – The Birth Story That Changed Her Career31:12 – Maternal Gatekeeping: When Moms Don’t Let Dads Parent35:41 – The Opioid Theory of Love43:12 – Why Dancing & Singing Makes Us Feel Alive54:25 – The Dark Side of Love56:04 – Love Isn’t a Luxury — It’s a Biological Need58:12 – What Happens in the Brain When We Lose Love01:00:47 – Loneliness: The Modern World’s Silent Killer01:04:26 – Online Love & Parasocial Bonds Explained01:15:00 – Love Is the Most Human Thing We Do FOLLOW YOURTANGOINSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/yourtango TIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@yourtango THREADS | https://www.threads.net/@yourtango TWITTER | https://www.twitter.com/YourTango FACEBOOK | https://www.facebook.com/YourTango/ “Getting Open w/ Andrea Miller” is a podcast aimed at helping people truly open up to one another and themselves by digging into hard truths and varying perspectives.
