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.
