While there is ample scientific evidence to support the intrinsic causes of human motivation, we pride ourselves on our individuality and the subsequent unique paths we carve out for ourselves. So when psychologists start spouting theories about - brace yourselves - the ultimate human desire to procreate, it's not surprising that folks have something to say about it. Still, there's also evidence about thinking before speaking and, so, a word to the wise to hear out both sides of the debate before casting yourself aside as a Maslow outcast. Enjoy!
