Evaluate Of Books The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal

This is one of those iconic books which once read, are never forgotten. I think many of Morris's observations based solely on anthropology have been debunked by scientists in related fields - but after reading this book, I can see mankind only as monkeys without fur!

The Naked Ape made quite a stir when it was published in 1967 but relatively little of the stir was outrage. Oh, sure, some groups declared the arrival of the Apocalypse but those tended to be people who believed that no good comes of change. Ever. Today the outrage comes from the quarter where people believe that all books of the past should be revised to reflect today's mores. Or, more expeditiously, those books should simply be disposed of or perhaps ignored except when a target ripe for

I suppose all reviews of this book must open up with the fact that it is dated - considerably. Many of the speculations and theories put forward in the text have since fallen out of favor or been outright dismissed. But as with all science books from an older era, this is not the important part! The questions and insights raised about human nature far outweigh any omissions due to the inadequate science of the times.What one can find fault with is several arguments and generalizations made about

I find this book fascinating. It seems, from reading the reviews here, that much of what Morris says is rubbish and supposition but its pretty interesting rubbish and supposition. I also think that there is something revealing and useful about just observing humans as an animal - a naked ape, as Morris has it.

Morris makes a great song and dance about the 'outrage' with which his book was first received. Why are people so resistant to contemplating, in the cool light of scientific 'objectivity', their 'animal nature', he asks. However, Morris' claim to neutrality is highly suspect; he urges us to learn from and accept the picture he presents of human beings, sayinghomo sapiens has remained a naked ape... in acquiring lofty new motives, he has lost none of the earthy old ones. This is frequently a

I don't know what sort of re-packaged edition I read originally, but it was a short, coffee-table sized hardback, with full-sized, four-colour photos of women's pupils dilating. It seems men automatically find the same photo of a woman, but with larger pupils, more attractive. I thought I'd discovered a secret key to measuring womankind, in a kind of Cosmo version of The Naked Ape. A friend in school saw my book and got very excited, but the secret knowledge within, well, that was only for me.
