In 'The Human Zoo', Desmond Morris analyzes the society created by humans, comparing civilized man with animals in captivity. Morris observes that, under natural conditions, wild animals do not self-mutilate, do not attack their young, nor do they suffer from ulcers or stress, behaviors that do manifest in animals in captivity and that resemble those of urban man in their cities. This analysis offers a critical perspective on the excesses and possible consequences of a society at risk of self-destruction.
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.
