Helen Fisher
Women are very attracted to a low voice because it's linked to testosterone, which for millions of years was a sign that men had very good spacial skills and would have been very good at hunting and finding their way back home.
Helen Fisher
People have been looking for love potions since hunter-gatherer societies.
