Hey Hey We're The Monkeys!!!

Years ago, when I was a student studying cultural-anthropology and social-psychology, I read a book called The Naked Ape, by Desmond Morris. The publisher describes the book thusly:

"A startling view of man, stripped of the facade we try so hard to hide behind." In view of man's awesome creativity and resourcefulness, we may be inclined to regard him as descended from the angels, yet, in his brilliant study, Desmond Morris reminds us that man is relative to the apes--is in fact, the greatest primate of all. With knowledge gleaned from primate ethnology, zoologist Morris examines sex, child-rearing, exploratory habits, fighting, feeding, and much more to establish our surprising bonds to the animal kingdom and add substance to the discussion that has provoked controversy and debate the world over. Natural History Magazine praised The Naked Ape as "stimulating . . . thought-provoking . . . [Morris] has introduced some novel and challenging ideas and speculations."

I came across this amusing video and I was immediately remindid of Morris's wonderful book.

Enjoy.
