Doctor Morris relates his personal history of his early animal days before he wrote his best selling books on animal and human behaviour, with his television appearances as presenter of the popular 'Zootime' and his work at London's Regent Park Zoo.

Morris, Desmond The Human Zoo London Jonathan Cape 1969 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall A Fine uninscribed copy with Fine complete dustjacket which is plastic protected. A celebrated follow up to the 'Naked Ape', the book is an authorative, fiercely frank and brilliantly entertaining sociological and anthropological study of man, which compares civilized man with his captive animal counterpart. He argues that man is biologically still a primitive tribal hunter, ill equipped to cope with the social hazards of a vast impersonal society. Price: 10.00 GBP
