«The Human Zoo» is a popular science essay by Desmond Morris, published by Dell Publishing Co. in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Zoologist Desmond Morris studies human behavior through animal conduct: in large cities, man would live like a captive animal, confined in an artificial environment and removed from his tribal nature. This tension would explain the rise of stress, violence and antisocial behavior in modern urban life.
The Human Zoo is the second installment of The Naked Ape trilogy. The original work appeared in 1969 and this paperback edition dates from 1971.
A work for readers interested in anthropology, social psychology and the biological bases of human behavior.
Desmond John Morris FLS hon. caus. was an English zoologist, ethologist and surrealist painter, as well as a popular author in human sociobiology. He was known for his 1967 book The Naked Ape, and for his television programmes such as Zoo Time.
