Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind, 7th Edition, investigates human behavior through an evolutionary framework. Written by David M. Buss, this textbook equips students with conceptual tools to evaluate psychological mechanisms and pursue empirical research on the mind.
The discussion addresses primary adaptive challenges, moving from survival, mating, parenting, and kinship to the broader demands of group living. Through these areas, the text explores how evolutionary principles clarify human cooperation, aggression, sexual conflict, and social hierarchies.
Designed for undergraduate students in psychology, biology, and anthropology, the volume incorporates case study boxes that illustrate how evolutionary psychology applies to real-world situations.
