The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating

This book, written by prominent psychologist David M. Buss, presents a unified theory of human mating behavior.

It draws on a vast study involving over 10,000 people from thirty-seven cultures and compares human mating strategies with those of other species.

Buss explores why human desires differ radically between men and women, and how conflict, competition, and manipulation are integral to human mating.

The book updates the latest scientific research on human mating and explains the powerful evolutionary forces shaping our intimate desires.
