David Buss ist Professor für Psychologie an der University of Texas. Zurzeit leitet er dort die Abteilung Individuelle Unterschiede und Evolutionäre Psychologie. Nach seiner Doktorarbeit 1981 an der University of California in Berkeley war er vier Jahre lang Assistant Professor an der Harvard University. 1985 wechselte er an die University of Michigan, wo er elf Jahre lang lehrte, bevor er 1996 dem Ruf an die University of Texas folgte. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind die evolutionäre Psychologie menschlicher Paarungsstrategien, Konflikte zwischen den Geschlechtern, Prestige, Status und soziale Reputation, Eifersucht, Mord, Anti-Mordstrategien und Stalking. Seine bahnbrechende Forschung hat ein breites Echo in den Medien erfahren, so etwa in Artikeln in Newsweek, U.S. News&World Report, The New York Times, Washington Post sowie im Spiegel. In deutscher Übersetzung liegen seine Sachbücher Die Evolution des Begehrens und Wo warst Du? Der Sinn der Eifersucht sowie das Lehrbuch Evolutionäre Psychologie vor. Der Spiegel hat im August 2005 (Heft 35/2005) ein längeres Interview zum Thema "Mörder" mit ihm geführt.
