Human elective affinity

In the history of human chemistry, human elective affinity is the force of reaction or "elective affinity" preference between people, when considered as chemical species. This view was conceived in 1809 by German polymath Johann von Goethe and outlined in "chapter four" (book one) of what he considered his greatest work: Elective Affinities.
