The Evolution of Desire
David M. Buss
In this provocative book, David Buss turns to Darwin's theories from the mid-19th century to explain why humans today choose the mates they do. It might be a hard pill to swallow — the idea that mating preferences aren't entirely conscious choices, but Buss backs it up by extensive research, including a study of more than 100,000 people from 37 cultures across the globe.
