Sociobiology
After receiving his doctoral degree from Oxford University, Desmond Morris continued on post-doctorally at Oxford University conducting research on the reproductive behavior of birds. After some time elapsed, including Morris’s move to London in 1956, he thence began a research project into the picture making abilities of apes. The following year of ’57 he organizes an exhibition at the Institute of contemporary arts in London, all of paintings and drawings composed by chimpanzees. Later, in 1958 he co-organizes an interesting exhibition of which compared pictures made by the likes of infants, human adults, as well as apes. The event was called ‘The Lost Image,‘ it was held at the Royal Festival Hall in London. After assuming position of Curator in 1959, Desmond’s upcoming years begin to fill with strings and strings of books to be released on the topics of animal behavior, art, many centering on the topic of human behavior, as well as comparisons to primates; viewing humanity as revolutionized from the hunter-gather to the city dweller. Morris Continues on publishing books covering infant behavior watching, as well as man watching, and watchings of various types of animals such as cats and dogs.
Desmond’s works are published Almost world wide wide. His first book that concerned actual human behavior was published in 1967 titled The Naked Ape a Zoologists study of the Human as an revolutionized animal
After some time elapses filled with more book publications flowing along side various other attributes of Morris's careers, in 1982 he begins to look into archaeological researches for a new, slightly different, book on the Art of Ancient Cyprus. As creative minds wonder, Morris later the following year publishes a quite interesting ‘Book of Ages,‘ a year-by-year account of human life from birth to death. Finishing the Art of Ancient Cyprus the next year, 1984, published 85. Desmond’s following research project was conducted in 1988, respectively on the colors used in decorating human homes.The findings and data were brought together that same year within a report called Nestbuilders.
Throughout his entire career Desmond Morris has written almost countless books continuously on the observations of life, humans, animals, and even paintings as well as children's books on the matters. Despite all of his other interests, the majority of his books took place under the category of sociobiology.
