Best for: Readers who want a book explicitly titled as an overview of evolutionary psychology and prefer a paperback listing. It was selected because it closely matches the search topic and presents the subject as a broad field rather than one narrow topic.
Check before buying: The listing information provided does not identify an edition number. If a course or reading list requires a particular edition, confirm that detail on the product page before choosing this copy.
The New Science Of The Mind Paperback
This is another paperback listing for Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind, with David M. Buss named as author. Its matching title makes it relevant to readers looking for the same broad subject and author as the other paperback option.
Best for: Buyers comparing listings for the same title who want a paperback format. It was selected because it is directly about evolutionary psychology and is not limited in its title to one subtopic.
Check before buying: The supplied product details do not specify the edition. Compare the listed edition and publication information against your needs, especially if you are matching a class syllabus or replacing a particular copy.

Buying Guide: How To Choose A David Buss Book
Do you need a general overview or a focused topic?
Start with the title. Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind is the clearest match for a broad introduction. The Evolution of Desire: Strategies of Human Mating is more specifically focused on mating strategies, so it is a better fit when that is your main interest.
Which edition does your class or reference list require?
Compare the edition number, not just the author and title. The supplied products include a fifth-edition paperback and a fourth-edition hardcover, as well as paperback listings without an edition stated in the provided information. If a syllabus names an edition, match it carefully before ordering.
Which format fits your reading habits?
Paperback and hardcover listings are printed-book options; the audiobook is identified as an Audible format. Consider whether you need a physical copy for study or prefer listening. Do not assume that two listings with the same title have identical edition details.
What should you verify before purchase?
Check the full product-page details for edition, format, and any bibliographic information required by your course. The titles and formats listed here help narrow the choice, but the supplied information does not establish that the similar paperback listings are the same edition.
