	Desmond Morris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Dr Desmond Morris (born 24 January 1928 in the village of Purton, UK) is most famous for his work as a zoologist and ethologist.
		Although he is a sociobiologist himself, many others in the field consider Morris to be something of a pseudoscientist, or merely a populariser.
		Pablo Picasso indicated his support for Morris and the ape by biting a reporter who suggested to him that the chimp's work was not art.

		Morris refuses to be drawn on the content of these 'scandalous' 1950s paintings but their tenor can, to an extent, be inferred from later works on this same theme.

		Morris also provides a handy list of the many ways that units of behavior have become transformed.
