| Description: |
The author takes the reader on a guided tour 'from head to toe' of human female form. Highlighting the evolutionary functions of biological features that all women share, he explores the enhancements and constraints that human societies have developed in the quest for control and perfection of the female form, with a zoologist's perspective. |
| Synopsis: |
The human female form is the brilliant end-point of millions of years of evolution, loaded with amazing adjustments and subtle refinements. It is the most remarkable organism on the planet. At different times and in different places, human societies have tried to improve on nature, modifying and embellishing the female form in a thousand different ways. In this new study, people-watcher Desmond Morris turns his skill and attention to the female form, and takes the reader on a guided tour 'from head to toe'. Highlighting the evolutionary functions of biological features that all women share, Morris explores the enhancements and constraints that human societies have developed in the quest for control and perfection of the female form. Written from a zoologist's perspective and packed full of scientific fact, fascinating anecdote and thought-provoking conclusions, "The Naked Woman" builds on Desmond Morris's unrivalled experience as an observer of the human animal. |
