some prevailing theories suggest that the heart shape originated to resemble a pair of boobs or a butt depending on it’s orientation. it’s an old symbol, older than you would think used by many cultures. like 5th or 6rh century BC old. another theory is that it represents a fruit of a plant called silphium commonly used as an aphrodisiac and contraceptive.
