  The Human Zoo (book) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morris compares the human inhabitants of a city to the animal inhabitants of a zoo, which have their survival needs provided for, but at the cost of living in an unnatural environment.
Humans in their cities, and animals in their zoos, both have food and shelter provided for them, and have considerable free time on their hands.
But they have to live in an unnatural environment: humans in their cities, and animals in their zoos, are both likely to have problems in developing healthy social relationships, both are liable to suffer from isolation and boredom, and both live in a limited amount of physical space.

 Humans in the Zoo--A Perfect Parable of Confusion   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The London Zoo may want its visitors to learn "that the human is just another primate," but the undeniable reality is that the humans are buying the tickets, orchestrating the event, volunteering for the exhibit, and going home to sleep in their own beds at night.
All this talk about human beings as mere animals--just like all the other animals in the zoo--is undermined by a single second's reflection on the fact that it is the humans who built the zoo, captured the animals, and came up with such a silly idea as "The Human Zoo" in the first place.
Human beings are characterized by a moral accountability that is completely lacking in the animal world and by a relatedness that exceeds anything found in the animal kingdom.

 Plague and primates at human zoo
Zoo: my paperback Webster calls that "a place where a collection of wild animals is kept for public showing." Thanks to the faddists, a zoo now can be a collection of tame Starbucks swillers.
What's more, while zoos are supposed to enthrall visitors with the distinctiveness of wild species, Wills described the "human zoo" as an exhibit designed to make patrons believe the human primate isn't all that special.
So the zoo transforms itself from an institution designed to inspire and teach about nature into an institution that departs from science -- with this phony natural habitat and erroneous claim that humans are "the same" as other animals -- to teach people that humanity isn't so hot.

The captives in the "Human Zoo" exhibit sunned themselves on a rock ledge, clad in bathing suits and pinned-on fig leaves.
Melissa Wecker, 21, was disappointed that the humans were wearing swimsuits beneath their fig leaves.

 Human zoo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Human zoo (also called "ethnological expositions" or "Negro Villages") was a 19th and 20th century public exhibit of human beings usually in their natural or primitive state.
Human zoos could be found in Hamburg, Antwerp, Barcelona, London, Milan, New York, and Warsaw with 200,000 to 300,000 visitors attending each exhibition.
Scholars argue that the zoos and the attention they garnered reflected a broader colonialist ambition and also argue that human zoos can be linked to three distinct but interrelated phenomena: the construction of an imaginary Other, the theorization of a hierarchy of races, and the construction of colonial empires.

Zimbardo recently served as chief scientific adviser for a new reality show called "The Human Zoo," a program designed to highlight aspects of human behavior and social interaction for the audience in a positive and constructive way.
Other psychological concepts illustrated in "The Human Zoo" include first impressions, nonverbal behavior, social attraction, group dominance, lie detection, the power of size and beauty, and social influence.
Zimbardo hopes that tapes of "The Human Zoo" eventually will be available for teaching purposes, just as his documentary about the Stanford Prison Experiment is used around the world in psychology classrooms.

 Desmond Morris : Naked Ape Human Zoo
He was editor of "Primate Ethology" a work which considered recent advances in the study of the behaviours of monkeys and apes, and was author of the international best-seller The Naked Ape which set out to be a frank study of human behavior from a Zoologist's perspective.
Amongst the many significant works that he wrote in these years are The Human Zoo (1969) and Intimate Behaviour (1971).
In this role it was anticipated that he would work in association with Niko Tinbergen's research group in the Department of Zoology and would continue to research human action-patterns.

 Human Zoo - Media UK   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Human Zoo was a radio programme on talkSPORT, presented by Tommy Boyd, with his engineer Asher Gould effectively acting as co-presenter.
Boyd divided opinion between devoted fans, many of whom considered him to be an extremely wise man, and critics who viewed him as arrogant or mad, often taking the opportunity to phone up to launch personal attacks or deride his ideas with the aim of starting heated and vitriolic arguments.
In its latter stages the Human Zoo became increasingly repetitive and at times descended into farce.

The Human Zoo is an exhibition of painting, video, photography, print and sculpture which considers the contemporary artist's approach in exploring the interaction between humans and animals.
The exhibition refers to the shift in attitude between historical notions of animals functioning purely for human gain, as opposed to the less anthropocentric, contemporary artist's approach in considering the world from the animal's perspective; presenting the world from both within, and outside of 'the cage'.
Visitors are invited to question, upon which side of the cage they see themselves, and their animal counterparts to be.

 Halfbakery: Human Zoo
Everyone else will no doubt be engrossed with the irony of humans observing other humans in the way that a superior species normally observes a subspecies.
I've been to zoos which have children's play areas in a parody of a zoo cage arrangement, so you can watch the little monkeys (kids (human young)) play in a similar manner to other animals.
A limit on this as a source of entertainment is that you can often do this for free in the street, in public places, etc. You would have to provide something of significantly more interest to make it better than sitting in a pavement cafe or a bar window watching people go past.

His fascination with diseases of the mouth ("I like the glitter and colour that comes from the mouth, and I've always hoped in a sense to be able to paint the mouth like Monet painted a sunset") and with medical plates showing the body being positioned for x-ray are part of the foundation myth.
Triptych - Studies from the Human Body (1970) is one of a dozen triptychs in the unprecedentedly blue-chip show just opened at the Gagosian Gallery in London.
The camera in the 1970 triptych is an old-fashioned one standing on three timber legs, with goggle-like lenses that approximate the uglified, gouged-out faces so characteristic of the people in Bacon's paintings.
