Desmond Morris, the zoologist, author, artist and television presenter, has died aged 98.

Morris was best known for his book, The Naked Ape, which was published in 1967. It framed modern humans as still being fundamentally ape-like despite our technological advances and evolution
.

Sad to hear, I actually have his book The Naked Ape in storage, never got round to reading it. About time I dig it out and give it a read.
 
I first read the Naked Ape at age 13. It was in my dad's library.

At the time, I thought it was porn. But it turned out to be much more eye-opening and interesting.

RIP, Mr. Morris.
