The article presents information about the book "The Human Zoo," by Desmond Morris. Why are human beings as they are, why do they do what they do, what governs their behavior? This is the question that certain recent books in biology, anthropology, ethology, genetics and zoology have been trying to reanswer. The answer, first offered more than 200 years ago by Giambattista Vico, fleshed out by German sociology, adopted universally by doctrinaire Socialists and liberals, is that man is a historical animal. Different implications have been drawn from this answer by different people.
