From the Darwinian perspective that human beings' primate legacy is psychological as well as biological, Buss (emeritus, psychology, U. of Texas at Austin) draws on research showing how humans are like other primates, traits that make our species unique, and human developmental trends. Following an overview of the issues dividing personality and experimental psychologists, he diverges from the mainstream evolutionary approach to personality by discussing specific traits, the self, and stylistic differences in, and abnormal manifestations of, such traits rather than seeking general laws of behavior.
