Description
A must-read for anyone who has ever wondered why people do what they do, from the popular author of The Naked Ape. This study concerns the city dweller.

HAVE YOU ACCLIMATIZED TO THE ZOO???

Amazing
If anything, this book serves as a phenomenal addition to the Naked Ape Universe. Packed with more of the striking insight that Morris' first book, this is every bit as astounding, and awe-inspiring. A must-read for anybody who wants to know why we do what we do.

Great work of science in layman language
Desmond Morris is a master beyond compare in understanding human behavior. A must read for all serious students of human behavior. The flow and witting style is simple for those who want a serious understanding of a complex subject in layman terms. Goes beyond the pop writers who churn out books by the dozen and delves on the subject in depth. Should also read - Man Watching, Women Watching, Baby Watching and the Naked Ape.
