Eastwick takes exception to evolutionary psychology’s claim, cloaked in incontrovertible Darwinian terms, that our minds have been shaped by primal drives that pit the genders against each other—from the myth that men are wired to be promiscuous to the notion that wealth, status and beauty are the ultimate aphrodisiacs.Drawing on pathbreaking research—including original experiments from his own UC Davis lab—Eastwick reveals that these stories bear little resemblance to how pair-bonding really works. While beauty and charisma factor into first impressions, their influence fades fast. Lasting attraction is built through gradual, often mundane moments that forge strong attachment bonds.Eastwick’s liberating new paradigm for finding meaningful, exciting relationships includes: that personality, lifestyle, values and humor are poor predictors of compatibility; that a person’s tendency to “date around” has little bearing on their long-term relationship potential; and that the most secure relationships offer a “safe haven” and “secure base” for each partner.By excavating the hidden history of human mating, Eastwick paints a radical new picture of the roots of enduring chemistry. Distilling evolutionary biology, anthropology and psychology into accessible insights, Eastwick explains a more evolved approach to dating which makes it far more effective.And you can immediately put the best of this new science into practice afterward at our Valentine’s Eve dance party on the roof garden.All ticket sales are final and nonrefundable.SPEAKERPaul Eastwick, Professor of Psychology, UC Davis; Head, Social-Personality Psychology Program; Director, Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory; Author, Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and ConnectionModerator TBA5:30 p.m. doors open & check-in6–7 p.m. program7 p.m. book signing & rooftop dance party(all times Pacific Time)Eastwick photo by Alison Ledgerwood; courtesy the speaker. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/paul-eastwick-the-new-science-of-love-and-connection/100001977064369751 - **Event Categories**: art, parties, valentines-day, entertainment, fine-arts, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 37.58, max: 37.58, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Commonwealth Club - **lat**: 37.7933452 - **long**: -122.3925028 - **full address**: The Commonwealth Club, 110 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Paul Eastwick: The New Science of Love and Connection - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/e032bbf00c8e65a52e01bea477db756c8c9b6c96e13dae0fde8d20e7dc4fd764-rimg-w1200-h675-dca8212a-gmir.jpg?v=1766069255 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Paul Eastwick: The New Science of Love and Connection being held? - **A:** Paul Eastwick: The New Science of Love and Connection takes place on Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Fri, 13 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm at The Commonwealth Club, 110 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Paul Eastwick: The New Science of Love and Connection? - **A:** Tickets for Paul Eastwick: The New Science of Love and Connection are priced at USD 38 per person.
