Product Description
David Buss updates his classic study of the origin of human mating behavior with fascinating new research. If we all want love, why is there so much conflict in our most cherished relationships? To answer this question, says noted psychologist David Buss, we must look into our evolutionary past. Based on the most massive study of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than ten thousand people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures worldwide, The Evolution of Desire is the first book to present a unified theory of human mating behavior. Now in a revised and updated edition, Buss's classic presents the latest research in the field, including startling new discoveries about the evolutionary advantages of infidelity, orgasm, and physical attractiveness.

• A Book Worth Reading But It Had More Pages Than Necessary 12 November, 2008
I bought this book after attending a great speech given by the author. I have always been interested in understanding differences between men and women in terms of dating and relationships. The author provided insights from the evolutionary psychological point of views. I particularly enjoyed to read sections containing related examples observed in animals and results from various studies. It was my first time to read such a book. It was refreshing but I think it was lengthier than necessary.

• Trash 25 September, 2007
Yet another piece of faulty popular science. Although the author conducted a survey of amazingly great scope, he at times seems to even deliberaty ignore or contradict his own results. His only interest seems to be to pseudo-scientifically back up gross stereotypes of men and women. Don't waste your time or money!

• Brain Imaging Is Improved Science; Weakens Evoluntionary Thesis 08 August, 2008
Stress in children will cause them to be promicoiuse. Sexually abused children age 9-14 have an (p.217) Amagdalya that is 10-30% under developed. This leads to PTSD not a evolutionary development. How would one fake knidness and being rich? Women are moodly because of PMS, not always a test? 3 Stars because it got me thinking.

• Very Basic/introductory 12 October, 2007
If you already have quite a bit of knowledge on the subject of evolutionary psychology, this book won't open any new doors or tackle any new interesting questions. It was written about a decade ago, and lags a little bit behind the times. However, there are a couple of interesting facts and perspectives here that you won't find in other books, so it may be worth adding to your collection for a 'used' price.
