«El zoo humano» is the essay by Desmond Morris, published by Plaza & Janés in hardback (297 pages, in Spanish).
With a zoologist's eye, Morris describes the city as a captive environment where the human being, adapted to living in small tribal groups, suffers tensions and abnormal behaviours. He explores aggression, status and sexuality, and shows how civilisation intensifies these instincts rather than eliminating them.
The subtitle is «Un estudio del animal urbano»; this Spanish edition was published in 1978 and bibliographic records classify it under social psychology.
For readers interested in popular science, psychology and social behaviour.
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.
