A good look at our species through the eyes of zoologist Desmond Morris. I first read this many years ago and have read it a total of 4 times. Dr. Morris did go on to separate the sexes each in its own volume as the years went by. Reading "The Naked Ape" certainly opens our eyes, yet humbles us at the same time. It is most interesting to learn which of our primate ancestors contributed to our different attributes. Desmond makes the book understandable to even those who have no formal study of mammals and paticularly the primates#hardcover
