The Naked Ape
What if your “civilized” life is just a thin veil over primal instincts you can’t escape? In this provocative zoological odyssey, Desmond Morris strips humanity bare, revealing how evolutionary quirks—like hairless skin, oversized brains, and erotic earlobes—shape everything from love to war. But as he dissects monogamy’s origins in hunter-gatherer survival and breasts as sexual signals, a chilling question emerges: Are we masters of our destiny… or puppets of a DNA script written on the savannah?
