You mean..*gasp" Desmond Morris deceived us all?

"The Naked Ape, which was serialized in the Daily Mirror newspaper and has been translated into 23 languages, depicts human behavior as largely evolved, to meet the challenges of prehistoric life as a hunter-gatherer (see nature versus nurture). The book was so named because out of 193 species of monkeys and apes only man is not covered in hair."

I am shocked!


(ummm...perhaps it's because it is so much easier to type 'ape' than "Hominidae" or "higher primate")
