Desmond Morris dies
The scientific and artistic communities are paying tribute to Desmond Morris, whose work explored human behavior through the lens of animal instincts.
His 1967 book, 'The Naked Ape,' became a cultural phenomenon, though it initially sparked significant controversy among scientists.
Morris also hosted the long-running ITV program 'Zoo Time' and continued to paint and write well into his nineties.
His son, Jason, remembered him as a man driven by a 'lifetime of exploration, curiosity, and creativity.'
