Today on Far Future Horizons it
gives me great pleasure to present the documentary “Watching Desmond Morris”
hosted by Sir David Attenborough.
Desmond Morris has been watching us for nearly fifty
years, applying his skills as a zoologist to human beings as if they were just
another animal.
Books such as "The Naked Ape" and
"Manwatching" made him a household name. Now it is time to turn the
tables and ask him a few questions.
With contributions from experts such as Richard
Dawkins and Oliver James, and from Morris's old friend Sir David Attenborough,
we ask how credible Morris's observations, and the conclusions, really were,
and whether there is still anything to learn from studying humans in the way
the he did.
