Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind

Rutledge India

As acclaimed psychological researcher and author David Buss writes, "People are mesmerized by murder. It commands our attention like no other human phenomenon, and those touched by its ugly tendrils never forget." Though we may like to believe that murderers are pathological misfits and hardened criminals, the vast majority of murders are committed by people who, until the day they kill, would seem to be perfectly normal.    David Buss's pioneering work has made major national news in the past, and this provocative book is sure to generate a storm of attention. The Murderer Next Door is a riveting look into the dark underworld of the human psyche- an astonishing exploration of when and why we kill and what might push any one of us over the edge. A leader in the innovative field of evolutionary psychology, Buss conducted an unprecedented set of studies investigating the underlying motives and circumstances of murders, from the bizarre outlier cases of serial killers to those of the friendly next-door neighbor who one day kills his wife.    Reporting on findings that are often startling and counterintuitive-the younger woman involved in a love triangle is at a high risk of being killed-he puts forth a bold new general theory of homicide, arguing that the human psyche has evolved specialized adaptations whose function is to kill. Taking readers through the surprising twists and turns of the evolutionary logic of murder, he explains exactly when each of us is most at risk, both of being murdered and of becoming a murderer. His findings about the high-risk situations alone will be news making.    Featuring gripping storytelling about specific murder cases-including a never used FBI file of more than 400,000 murders and a highly detailed study of 400 murders conducted by Buss in collaboration with a forensic psychiatrist, and a pioneering investigation of homicidal fantasies in which Buss found that 91 percent of men and 84 percent of women have had at least one such vivid fantasy-The Murderer Next Door will be necessary reading for those who have been fascinated by books on profiling, lovers of true crime and murder mysteries, as well as readers intrigued by the inner workings of the human mind.    Based on a wealth of groundbreaking research, a leading psychologist's fascinating investigation of why we are all "wired to kill"

Durante anos, los cientificos han desechado preguntarse por que las mujeres mantienen relaciones sexuales al presuponer una serie de respuestas obvias (reproduccion, para expresar amor) No obstante, el trabajo de Buss y Meston, basandose en encuestas realizadas a miles de mujeres, muestra un abanico de respuestas mucho mas amplio, que se abre a la venganza, las ganas de impresionar a las amistades, la obligacion y el deber, las ganas de tener un contacto directo con Dios, el odio o, simplemente, el aburrimiento. A partir de aqui, nos proponen un recorrido por la sexualidad femenina que tiene en cuenta a la persona en su totalidad y abarca el placer, la experiencia, la salud psicologica, el estatus social, el poder sobre el hombre (para atraerlo y conservarlo a su lado), la conexion amorosa, la rivalidad sexual, el lado oscuro del sexo (decepcion, crueldad, violacion), la reproduccion y el futuro de la sexualidad femenina. / Bringing together some of the interesting (and some not so interesting) research on women and sex, the author explain how Brown University researchers found that how someone smells is the single most important factor in a woman's choice of lover; Brazilian researchers discovered that women are aroused by men with whom they are genetically compatible. Collating such findings with their own online survey of 1,000 women of diverse backgrounds, the coauthors, psychology professors at the University of Texas at Austin, also discovered that women are sexually motivated by self-confident partners with a good sense of humor. Some women have sex out of feelings of obligation or revenge, to satisfy their curiosity, gain experience and enhance their self-esteem. Sexual activity can also provide health benefitsto relieve migraines and menstrual cramps, reduce the risk of endometriosis and prevent age-related vaginal atrophy. Although solidly researched, this book often treads familiar terrain and comes to fairly obvious conclusions. such as that women have sex to give or get love or a feeling of emotional connection and to enjoy the sensations of sexual arousal and orgasm.
