The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal (ISBN 0-385-33430-3) is a 1967 book by Desmond Morris which looks at human beingss as a species and compares them to other animals. It depicts human behavior as largely evolved to meet the challenges of prehistoric life as a hunter-gatherer (see nature versus nurture).
A 1973 movie directed by Donald Driver — based on the book — was made starring Johnny Crawford and Victoria Principal.
In 2006 an independent movie was made based loosely on the book, written and directed by Daniel Mellitz, starring Josh Wise, Chelse Swain, Sean Shanks, Amanda MacDonald, Tony LaThanh, Corbin Bernsen.
