From a biologist's point of view, there are two kinds of creatures: those that operate mostly as solitaries and those that live in groups. We're the second kind. "Love" has a wonderful number of definitions, but one of its effects is to ensure the companionship of others like ourselves. (Or, in some cases, others not so much like ourselves, as in the case of people and dogs.) Simply stated, we're not programmed to be alone. Of course, there are opportunities to interact with others which can hardly be called "love," such as trading goods and services or sharing a purpose, such as classroom learning, watching sporting events and working. Sexual contacts are close, intense, relationships which are often used as substitutes for love (or mistaken for it) and "love" is sometimes urged as an expression of religious devotion. The most significant sort of love is the bond between parent and child, usually mother and infant, but several other combinations can approach the same idea of giving and receiving care and protection. Notably, it is not just people who need love, but any number of higher animals, including birds, dogs and cats, elephants, orcs, great apes and seals. In a nutshell, people need love because we thrive better with it.
