Reviewers
Who have scientific training have no kind words for The Murderer Next Door. The authors investiture in the controversial field of evolutionary psychologywhich posits that human behavior is the product of evolutionleads him to assert that homicidal fantasies are more common than the reader might believe, and smacks of self promotion. While Busss argument is internally consistent, his premise runs counter to established anthropological and biological studies. Readers unversed in those sciences might receive Busss claims about homicides roots more openly, and find them both credible and disturbing.
Psychology professor Buss
First became interested in the roots of homicide when a close friend flew into a murderous rage against his wife at a party. The fact that this gentle man came close to murdering a loved one contradicted a number of beliefs Buss had always held about homicide, chief among them that murderers are necessarily insane. This book, the result of Buss' research into a never-used file of more than 400,000 murders and a close collaboration with psychiatrists at the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry, led him to a new view: that murder is the product of evolutionary forces and that the homicidal act, in evolutionary terms, conveys advantages to the killer. Buss sets out to dispel what he terms some misperceptions about murder, misperceptions based largely on the media's focus on serial killers. Well argued and unsettling.
Reporting on findings
That are often startling and counterintuitive, the younger woman involved in a love triangle is at a high risk of being killed, he puts forth a bold new general theory of homicide, arguing that the human psyche has evolved specialized adaptations whose function is to kill. Taking readers through the surprising twists and turns of the evolutionary logic of murder, he explains exactly when each of us is most at risk, both of being murdered and of becoming a murderer. His findings about the high-risk situations alone will be news making.
