Love can be understood in many different ways. From evolutionary biology, to biochemistry, to genetics, to social psychology, to your thoghts and feelings. By science, by art, by literature, and the songs from your heart. They are all different and all can possibly be true. It is consilience. (E.O.Wilson meme)

Well go and explain the irrational, like love, like Milosovich, like Davidians, like envy etc, etc. Until and if ever science finds the genetic blip for each of those crazy and wild things, myth works to help us understand ourselves.
