RIP, Desmond Morris. I appreciate how he popularized zoology and ethology, even if his bestsellers – like Naked Ape, Human Zoo, Manwatching, Intimate Behaviour – I found too assured of their generalizations and speculations. This lesser-known, co-authored work on human gesture is fun and interesting, and was probably pioneering in its day (1979)

RIP "naked ape" and #scienceWriter #DesmondMorris. I seem to remember that half a century ago his radical idea of describing #humans as nothing but mammals impressed and influenced me quite a bit.

Desmond Morris, zoologist and wildlife TV presenter, died on Sunday aged 98.
In the early 90s I was lucky enough to edit a series he presented called 'Animal Country'. Desmond's confident and engaging style made his work accessible to a wide audience. He was a decent man.
R.I.P.
