Desmond Morris. The naked ape

THE NAKED APE.

Desmond Morris tries to explain to the reader clearly and concisely the Darwinian theory of evolution form.

He was born in England on January 24, 1928; in his life he married Ramona Baulch, who became co-author of several of his books. In 1960 it was known as Zoo Time program presenter. His studies focus on animal behavior and human behavior thus fully explained from a zoological point of view.

The book contains 8 chapters in total in checking human characteristics and trends analyzed from the zoological point, which is: origins, sex, parenting, exploration, struggle, power, comfort and animals.

The author takes a very controversial point of view, because it is the man or naked ape like animal that is already analyzed and compared from a viewpoint of a zoologist therefore possess characteristics that are analyzed and purchased with animals of our current and previous environment as we can denote the characteristics of hunter were acquired to compete with hunters environmental and social behaviors.

For the breastfeeding process for success, it is essential that the act of sucking is sufficiently effective during the first five days. The newborn, compared with other species is totally helpless and can only make trivial movements with arms and legs.

The fourth chapter discusses all the mammal have a strong urge for exploration, but the other man needs more than identify and investigate, explore and pry, why do they have to be opportunistic mammals? The answer is that there is a big obstacle in life and among specialist quadrumane the naked ape is the most opportunistic. The impulse compels us to go forward and keep our knowledge until the source gives disdain meanwhile gained valuable experience, which you can save and use when we needed.
