Abstract
Overview: In this introductory chapter we briefly discuss some of the key constructs that underlie our thinking about human bonding systems. We consider the social bond, how it functions as an adaptive strategy, the types of environments within which it is designed to operate, and the types of goals it serves. We also consider behavioral domains and their relationship to brain modules.
