Stanley Hall Lectureship in 1990. Buss is the author of a number of publications and books, including ''The Evolution of Desire'', ''The Dangerous Passion'', and ''The Murderer Next Door'', which introduces a new theory of homicide from an evolutionary perspective. He is also the author of ''Evolutionary Psychology: The New Science of the Mind'', whose fourth edition was released in 2011. In 2005, Buss edited a reference volume, ''The Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology''.〔Buss, David M. (2005). ''The handbook of evolutionary psychology''.
