So that's what that book's about.

It's called The Evolution of Desire, Strategies of Human Mating, and gives people a broad overview of what people want in a mate, tactics of attraction, tactics of mate retention, and so forth throughout the whole mating process, serial mating, causes of divorce, and so forth.

And then even more broadly, I have a textbook called Evolutionary Psychology, the New Science of the Mind, which is in its sixth edition right now.

And it's the most widely used textbook in evolutionary psychology around North America and Europe.
