我們的“性腦”來自于石器時(shí)代？
Men aren't the only ones with cheating hearts, and scientists do not believe that there is any such thing as a battle of the sexes either, according to a new book that takes a scientific look at sex.
花心不是男人所特有的，科學(xué)家也不信性別之戰(zhàn)之類的事情，這是最近出版的一本新書的說法，該書從科學(xué)的角度詮釋了性。
In her new book, Sex: A Natural History, science reporter Joann Rodgers debunks some previous sexual theories, as she explores the biology and psychology of what drives our sexual behavior, from why we find Hollywood star Brad Pitt attractive, to why we sometimes cheat on our mates.
科學(xué)記者Joann Rodgers在她的新書—《性：一部自然史》中指出，以前一些性理論的欺騙性。她在書中挖掘了我們性行為沖動(dòng)的生物學(xué)和心理學(xué)基礎(chǔ)，由此我們可以解釋好萊塢明星Brad Pitt為何如此迷人，我們有時(shí)為什么會(huì)欺騙自己的配偶。
The findings: Sex is a lot more scientific than you might think. Though often influenced by culture, Rodgers found that human sexual behavior, including flirting and courtship, is also determined by biology — and certain rituals are the same now as they were in the era of cavemen.
這些發(fā)現(xiàn)表明，性比你想象地更具有科學(xué)性。Rodgers發(fā)現(xiàn)，盡管常常受到文化的影響，包括調(diào)情和求婚在內(nèi)的人類性行為還是由生物學(xué)決定的，現(xiàn)在的某些儀式甚至與洞穴人時(shí)期相同。
"A lot of sexual behavior — including what we're attracted to — is hardwired into our brains," Rodgers said. "A lot of it is conditioned by the way evolution formed our brains. Basically, our sexual brains are from the stone age."

求偶舞蹈
Culture also plays a role, which leads to variation in sexual behavior among various people and varying ideals of beauty. But there are basic similarities that remain the same.
文化對(duì)性行為也發(fā)揮一定作用，它使不同的人有不同的性行為和對(duì)美有不同的見解，但是，其基本相似點(diǎn)仍然沒有改變。
"Certain kinds of behavior are so universal that they appear to be biologically programmed," Rodgers said. "There is a mating dance." Rodgers說："某些行為是如此普遍，就好像它們已經(jīng)編成了生物學(xué)程序，如求偶舞蹈。"
When scientists studied flirting couples at a hotel bar, they saw some of the same things again and again - gestures that are part of our "brain chemistry," Rodgers said.
Rodgers說，科學(xué)家在一家賓館酒吧中研究調(diào)情者時(shí)發(fā)現(xiàn)，相同的一幕反復(fù)上演，姿勢(shì)成了我們"腦化學(xué)"的一部分。
A couple that was "connecting" would look into each other's eyes. When they sat down together, the man would lean forward, thrusting out his chest, while the woman would start twirling her hair.
"來電"的雙方凝視著對(duì)方的眼睛。當(dāng)他們比肩而坐時(shí)，男士可能會(huì)向前傾，挺直胸膛，而女士則開始捻弄她們的頭發(fā)。
"The man makes the first touch, say pretending to brush something off the woman's blouse," Rogers said. The hands would eventually touch each other, and eventually, the couple heads off to one of the rooms, researchers found. Rodgers說："男士以拂去女士外套上的什么東西為借口，首先觸摸女士。"研究人員發(fā)現(xiàn)，最終，兩人開始手拉手，最后走進(jìn)了其中一人的房間。
