About this book
Evolutionary Psychology The New Science of the Mind 7th edition by David M. Buss examines human behavior through the principles of evolution and natural selection. The book explains how psychological mechanisms may have developed in response to recurring adaptive problems and gives students a framework for evaluating evolutionary explanations of cognition, emotion, relationships, reproduction, cooperation, conflict, and social behavior.
The 7th edition covers the scientific foundations of evolutionary psychology, natural and sexual selection, survival problems, women's and men's long term mating strategies, short term sexual strategies, parenting, kinship, cooperative alliances, aggression and warfare, conflict between the sexes, status, prestige, and social dominance. Research findings and cross cultural evidence are used throughout to connect evolutionary hypotheses with empirical study of the human mind and behavior.
This textbook is intended primarily for undergraduate students studying evolutionary psychology and for students in psychology, biology, and anthropology courses that examine human behavior from an evolutionary perspective. It is particularly useful for learning how evolutionary hypotheses are formulated, comparing competing explanations for behavior, evaluating empirical evidence, and understanding how mating, parenting, cooperation, conflict, and social hierarchy can be studied within an evolutionary framework.
Evolutionary psychology students, psychology students, biology students, anthropology students, and undergraduates studying human behavior can use this edition to review major evolutionary theories, analyze research findings, and connect adaptive problems with psychological mechanisms and behavioral patterns. The complete 7th edition is available as a searchable PDF enhanced digital version with instant access for coursework, research assignments, exam preparation, and independent study.
