Desmond Morris dies at 98

Desmond Morris was a pioneering figure in the study of human and animal behavior, whose work both inspired and scandalized the scientific world.

Beyond his best-selling books, Morris was a prolific surrealist painter and a familiar face on television as the host of 'Zoo Time.' His son, Jason, paid tribute to his father's 'lifetime of exploration, curiosity, and creativity' following his death.

Morris's legacy continues to influence the fields of sociobiology and ethology as well as the broader public understanding of the animal instincts that shape human life.
