Why is Love always related to the Heart symbol and Human Heart shaped?

I believe that the heart is in the middle of all the vital organs of our body. Did you know that without even breathing until your heart is still at work / shop, you will be able to live in? But the real question is why the heart is connected to a single sign / symbol of love? Why not change the characters or parts of the body?

When I first heard this question from my friend. It is true, I wondered. And according to some historians, is a heart-shaped symbol, which is to love and worship here already man.

But the icon and the real thing to share anything in common at all. A real heart-shaped yellow / red football, and the symbol of a heart drawn in stylized form. Generally, the color red, bloody, passionate and strong feelings, and also suggests a romantic poems, Valentine's Day and chocolate boxes.

So this character is not even close to the appearance of the human heart. However, we consider that the binary humps atop a stylized heart without distinction to the male sexual organs, organs, Director of the form to remember, but instead of the round. Or equally well to describe the human female body, plus the women's reproductive health, side dish, Sumerian cuneiform, or the top of a hill. And some of the similarity between the number of woman's buttocks or breasts.

Some historians say, the possible origin of the shape of the heart, is the seed pod. Silphium, a kind of fennel seeds, which are clearly the heart-shaped, but has killed more than two millennia. It can be seen engraved on coins of the ancient city of Cyrene.

The Greeks whispered that the gift set for the Apollo (Archer God of medicine and healing, light, truth, an importer or a death-dealing plague, also known as Sun-god of Greek mythology). Plant appears in the heavy rain storm flooded the city Cyrene.But evidence Silphium was used much earlier in Egypt and Libya as well. Diversity of medical applications and scarcity, was considered "worth its weight in denarii" during the Roman era. Eventually, they harvested crops to die.

And why is the seed pod itself can be treated as the Premier symbolizes love and romance? Perhaps because Silphium was the most important ingredient for effective natural birth control medicine time. It can be worn as a herbal contraceptive or abortion. So, the appearance may have been related to sexuality
and love.

And also, is the "heart" shape formed by the wings back and dove, which is associated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love.
