Synopsis
Where did we come from?What is our connection with other life forms?What are the mechanisms of mind that define what it means to be a human being?In the seventh edition of this revolutionary textbook, David M. Buss examines human behavior from an evolutionary perspective, providing students with the conceptual tools needed to study evolutionary psychology and apply them to empirical research on the human mind. Content is organised by topic, beginning with the challenges of survival, mating, parenting, and kinship; progressing to challenges of group living, including cooperation, aggression, sexual conflict and status, prestige, and social hierarchies.Key features of this edition include:• Updated and enhanced material based on an explosion of new theories and research, including dozens of new references.• Expanded coverage of topics including socioecology, behavior, emotions, and gender.• Exploration of evolutionary mismatches in several domains such as survival, kinship, and mating, including a discussion of internet dating.With a wealth of student-friendly pedagogy including critical thinking questions and case study boxes supporting the application of evolutionary psychology to real-world situations, this is an invaluable resource for undergraduates studying psychology, biology, and anthropology. The textbook is also supported by a range of instructor resources, including PowerPoint slides, a test bank, and an instructor’s manual, to help students achieve their higher learning goals.
