Kurzbeschreibung
Evolutionary psychology is a new and revolutionary science, rapidly growing in scientific practice and media attention. David Buss, a leading researcher in the field, has written the first comprehensive text on the subject, introducing students to a new perspective on the fascinating puzzles of human nature. Composed of cutting-edge research and featuring an engaging writing style, the author offers compelling scientific answers to the profound human questions of love and work. Beginning with a historical introduction, the text logically progresses by discussing adaptive problems that humans face, and ends with a unifying chapter showing how the new field of evolutionary psychology encompasses all branches of psychology. Each chapter is alive with the subjects that most occupy our minds: sex, mating, getting along, getting ahead, friends, enemies, and social hierarchies. Why is child abuse 40 times more prevalent among step-families than biologically intact families? According to one study, why did 75% of men but 0% of women consent to have sex with a complete stranger?Buss explores these intriguing quandaries with his vision of psychology in the new millennium as a new science of the mind.

Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Buss has managed to debunk feminist myths, provide psychology students with a firm grasp of Darwinian theory as it applies to human behavior, and entertain the reader in less than 500 brilliantly written pages. As a student of psychology, I continue to be amazed that many refuse to accept the scientific truth and deny the vast amount of empirical support that evolutionary psychology has uncovered. Observing human behavior through the lens of rational, analytical, scientific thought is the only way to truly understand the fascinating "science of the mind." Perhaps some never will accept the truth, relying on the defense mechanism of denial to be able to cope with the harsh reality of human nature, and perhaps some simply aren't cognitively advanced enough to make sense of it all. After all, natural selection does not favor a situation where everyone is of equal cognitive processing ability. There would be no dominance hierarchy if that were the case! But the knowledge gleaned from the study of evolutionary psychology is both fascinating and life-changing, and one who understands and accepts Darwinian theory has a tremendous advantage in life over those who do not. Thanks to Dr. Buss for an entertaining and intellectually stimulating read!

In "Evolutionary Psychology -- The New Science of Mind," David M. Buss delivers a comprehensive, well-detailed, and illustrative presentation of evolved psychological mechanisms that have become universal across the human species while detailing the biology necessary to understand evolutionary theory and how it applies to human psychology. Organizationally-sound, the textbook reads like a novel, clearly providing theoretical and empirical information requisite for a fundamental understanding of Evolutionary Psychology. Buss' volume is essential reading for students of Evolutionary Psychology and very suitable reading for those of us interested in why we are the way we are. For more advanced readers, "The Adapted Mind," edited by Barkow, Cosmides, and Tooby is an ideal choice.

After a century of confusion, psychology as a discipline is finally emerging as a unified science under the evolutionary perspective. This pioneering textbook surveys most of the important research that have been conducted in evolutionary psychology, and every university should have a course based on this textbook. I have no doubt that any subsequent editions of this book will be even more refined and comprehensive. If you want to find out more about yourself, don't confuse yourself with the Freudian unconscious pop psychology stuff. Read this book.
