The Naked Ape

"The Naked Ape," a book by Dr. Desmond Morris, explores human behavior and biology by comparing humans to primates. It suggests that many aspects of human life—such as social behavior, communication, and sexuality—are rooted in our evolutionary history. The title highlights that, unlike other animals, humans are mostly hairless and rely heavily on visual and social cues. The book offers a scientific perspective on how our evolutionary past influences modern human nature, emphasizing that understanding this biology can enhance our insight into human behavior and societal patterns.
