Sinossi
"Ci piacerebbe credere di essere angeli caduti dal cielo, ma in realtà siamo scimmie in posizione eretta." La cosa vale anche per le donne, ovviamente. E così, dopo "La scimmia nuda", pubblicato negli anni Settanta, tocca alla femmina umana farsi "spogliare" dall'etologo Desmond Morris. Lo studioso spiega la funzione - dal punto di vista evoluzionistico - dei vari tratti fisiologici, e racconta come le diverse culture e società hanno nel tempo esaltato o represso il corpo della donna. Il libro è suddiviso in ventitré capitoli, che affrontano il tema letteralmente "dalla testa ai piedi".

I recommend owning this book, along with The Naked Man -so you can read them at the same time. The chapters about the various parts of the body are in the same order, and it is great to go back and forth comparing the evolution of features in men, with the same features in women.
everyone should read this to know how and why we are the way we are - extremely interesting!
¡Qué libro genial! Uno de mis FAVORITOS. Lo que hace básicamente es ir paso por paso (pedazo por pedazo, jajaja) analizando el cuerpo de la mujer y por qué es así. O en otras palabras, qué truquillos hemos desarrollado para poder ser atractivas y asegurar la sobrevivencia de la raza, muajaja. Sí, sé Leggi tutto
I have ambiguous feelings about the explanations provided by Desmond; I love that his text made sense and almost everyone would understand because of the simplicity in his writing. Yet, I cringed at every generalization made. I would describe the book as a wok filled with food; every time you shake
A typical Desmond Morris going over a woman's body, from hair to foot. The famous human behaviorist taking his reader on a guided tour of the female body highlighting the evolutionary functions of the various physiological traits, and tried explaining culture and customs in perspective.

Si has leído el mono desnudo, no tiene caso leer este, es muy repetitivo, pero si no lo has leído puede ser interesante, aunque considero el mono desnudo y el zoo humano mucho más interesantes por abarcar un área más grande, también es un poco raro que un hombre caiga en describir a la mujer porque Leggi tutto
Q: This magic combination of friendliness and curiosity has been made possible by an evolutionary process called neoteny, which has seen humans retain juvenile characters into adult life. Other animals are playful when they are young, but lose this quality when they mature. Humans remain playful all Leggi tutto
