Description

Intimate Behaviour by Desmond Morris delves into the fascinating world of human intimacy from a zoological perspective. Morris meticulously examines the various forms of physical contact and closeness, ranging from a simple handshake to more profound expressions of affection.

Drawing parallels with the animal kingdom, he explores the evolutionary roots of our intimate behaviors and the subtle yet significant roles they play in our social lives. Morris analyzes gestures, body language, and rituals associated with bonding, comfort, and affiliation. He sheds light on how our need for physical closeness develops from infancy and shapes our adult relationships, offering a unique understanding of our most personal interactions.
