Description:

This Turkish edition of The Naked Ape (Çıplak Maymun) by Desmond Morris was published by Sander Yayınları in 1977. Originally published in 1967, the book became an international bestseller by presenting a groundbreaking interpretation of human behavior through the lens of zoology and evolutionary biology. Morris examines humanity as one species among many, arguing that many aspects of modern human behavior can be better understood by considering our biological origins and evolutionary development.

Rather than focusing solely on cultural explanations, Morris explores subjects such as social behavior, sexuality, communication, parenting, aggression, and cooperation from a comparative biological perspective. By relating human characteristics to those of other primates, The Naked Ape offers an accessible and thought-provoking introduction to evolutionary anthropology. Its bold ideas challenged conventional views of human nature and sparked widespread discussion among both scholars and general readers.
