The Naked Ape is a landmark work of popular anthropology and psychology by Zoologist Desmond Morris. First published in 1967, this classic book considers humans simply as another animal species.
In this compelling exploration, Morris examines human beings at their most primal: in love, at work, and at war. The book delves into human life, stripping away the veneer to reveal humans as they truly are, with astonishing resilience, energy, and imagination.
With penetrating insights on human beginnings, sex life, habits, and our remarkable bonds to the animal kingdom, The Naked Ape is both provocative and timeless. It presents man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape, in danger of forgetting his origins.
This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the human condition and our place in the animal kingdom.
