THE HUMAN ZOO by Desmond Morris

In The Naked Ape, Desmond Morris took a brutally objective look at the human animal.  Now he scrutinises the society the naked ape has created for himself.

Under natural conditions, wild animals do not mutilate themselves, masturbate, attack their offspring, develop stomach ulcers, become fetishists, suffer from obesity.

Yet confined in the unnatural conditions of captivity, they exhibit just such neurotic behavior patterns common to urban man in his crowded cities.

The Human Zoo is authoritative, fiercely frank and brilliantly entertaining.  Yet it is, in the warning is sounds, an even more challenging book.

Soft cover, fair condition.  The book shows some signs of wear.
