Description

If we all want love, why is there such a lot conflict in our most cherished relationships? To respond to this question we will have to look into our evolutionary past, argues prominent psychologist David M. Buss. Based probably the most largest studies of human mating ever undertaken, encompassing more than 10,000 people of all ages from thirty-seven cultures around the world, The Evolution of Desire is the first work to present a unified theory of human mating behavior. Drawing on a variety of examples of mating behavior—from lovebugs to elephant seals, from the Yanomamö tribe of Venezuela to online dating apps—Buss reveals what women want, what men want, and why their desires radically differ. Love has a central place in human sexual psychology, but conflict, competition, and manipulation also pervade human mating—something we will have to confront so as to keep an eye on our own mating destiny.

Fully revised and up to date to reflect the very contemporary scientific research on human mating, this classic work of evolutionary psychology explains the powerful forces that shape our most intimate desires.
