THE NAKED APE: A ZOOLOGIST’S STUDY HUMAN ANIMAL DESMOND MORRIS 1st AMER ED 1967

Description: 1967, THE NAKED APE: A ZOOLOGIST’S STUDY…HUMAN ANIMAL, DESMOND MORRIS, 1st American Edition. Morris’ work has become a benchmark of popular anthropology and zoology. Morris considers humans as being simply another animal species in this classic book first published in 1967. Here is the Naked Ape at his most primal in love, at work, at war. Meet man as he really is: relative to the apes, stripped of his veneer as we see him courting, making love, sleeping, socializing, grooming, playing. The Naked Ape takes its place alongside Darwin’s Origin of the Species, presenting man not as a fallen angel, but as a risen ape, remarkable in his resilience, energy and imagination, yet an animal nonetheless, in danger of forgetting his origins. With its penetrating insights on mans’ beginnings, sex life, habits and our astonishing bonds to the animal kingdom, The Naked Ape is a landmark, at once provocative, compelling and timeless. No dust jacket, very slight slope of spine, shelf wear at end of spine, as shown in photos. One small stain on front endcover page. Overall, very few issues for a 55-year-old classic book. Strong spine and binding, intact and clean pages. A very nice copy of this book that has been in clean, dry, smoke-free home. See photos. Shipped via USPS Media Mail
