The Evolution of Desire

Strategies of Human Mating

Book •

David Buss's "The Evolution of Desire" explores the evolutionary basis of human mating strategies and preferences.

Buss integrates evolutionary theory with empirical research to explain patterns of attraction, mate selection, and relationship dynamics.

He examines the differences between men and women's mating strategies, considering factors such as sexual selection and parental investment.

The book challenges traditional views on relationships and offers a compelling perspective on the biological underpinnings of human behavior.

It's a significant contribution to the field of evolutionary psychology.
