Readable, surprising and provocative
The Times
I really enjoyed The Naked Ape by Desmond Morris. It was published in 1967 and is often a very amusing zoological perspective on human beings. The chapter on sex is hilarious

Stimulating
Arthur Koestler
Thought-provoking...Morris has introduced some novel and challenging ideas
Natural History
Fascinating
Sunday Times
I don’t think I’ve ever read a book quite so slowly… I didn’t want to miss a beat in what became an intoxicating series of revelations about not only my species but apparently about me, too. I’d never experienced a book that reached out to the reader in such a way and even now, this still holds true for The Naked Ape in that you can’t help but examine where (or even if) you fit in with Morris’s observations.
Ben Garrod, Observer
Original, provocative and brilliantly entertaining. It's the sort of book that changes people's lives
