About This Book
A Zoologist's Classic Study of the Urban Animal
How does city life change the way we act? What accounts for the increasing
prevalence of violence and anxiety in our world? In this new edition of his
controversial 1969 bestseller, THE HUMAN ZOO, renowned zoologist Desmond Morris
argues that many of the social instabilities we face are largely a product of
the artificial, impersonal confines of our urban surroundings. Indeed, our
behavior often startlingly resembles that of captive animals, and our
"developed" and "urbane" environment seems not so much a concrete jungle as it
does a human zoo.
Animals do not normally exhibit stress, random violence, and erratic behavior -
until they are confined. Similarly, the human propensity toward antisocial and
sociopathic behavior is intensified in today's cities. Morris argues that we are
biologically still tribal and ill-equipped to thrive in the impersonal urban
sprawl. As important and meaningful today as it was a quarter-century ago, THE
HUMAN ZOO sounds an urgent warning and provides startling insight into our
increasingly complex lives.
