- The Lives of the Surrealists (2018)
2018/06/29 - When he was 40, Desmond Morris researched the history of ten of his forefathers and calculated that he would probably live to just 61-and-a-half. Yet he's younger than ever at 90.
莫里斯（Desmond Morris）現在九十歲了，剛出了一本書叫《超現實主義畫家生活》，記錄他生命中遇見的那些超現實主義藝術家的點點滴滴，這是他第一手的經驗與面對面的觀察，而由於他動物學與人類學的背景，充滿洞見與深刻的觀察，他寫下這些藝術家的故事，不談大家已經看膩的超現實主義論述，而是活生生的人生與細節，有種老朋友式的平實溫暖意味，又清楚地有著動物學家的冷靜犀利，相當吸引人。
莫里斯與超現實主義來往密切的時候約已經是1950年代了，當時超現實主義的最高峰其實已經過去，藝術家們之間的紛爭也比較緩和，莫里斯看到這些大名鼎鼎的藝術家與恩斯特、馬格利特、坦基、達利、米羅、德爾沃、馬松等人，見過他們的惡鬥與現實中的形狀，貪婪與天真，飛黃騰達與潦倒落魄，他心中饒有興味的觀察大過藝術家之間的競爭。
他談到了被視為超現實主義領袖布魯東的問題。他以獨裁的方式召集會員，若有不滿則將他開除資格，而他歧視女性並恐同，事實上現在大眾心中超現實主義的大咖幾乎都被他開除資格或自己受不了退出。（撰文／李維菁）

Desmond Morris on
The Naked Eye at Edinburgh International Book Festival 15th August 2000 Ravi Bali
The latest book from Desmond Morris, The Naked Eye: Travels in Search of the Human Species, is part autobiography, part travelogue and part presentation on aspects of his theory.
A charming man, Morris spent most of the hour relating anecdotes from his travels around the world, including memories of his friends Anthony Burgess and David Attenborough. The stories amused the audience and raised a few laughs. One aspect of what he said relating to his theories interested me particularly. When he started out using zoological techniques to observe human beings, many people were critical of his trying to understand humans in the same terms as other animals. His first bestselling book, The Naked Ape, was written with the belief that precisely by applying these methods to human behaviour we could gain some interesting insights into ourselves.
One audience member asked Morris whether he thought the initial outrage that he should insult humanity by treating them as animals has today been reversed, so that we are now seen as inferior to beasts. He agreed that there had been a disenchantment with humanity so that any comparison with the rest of nature emphasises our destructiveness while downplaying our creative acheivements and potential. He misunderstood the tone of the question, to say he did agree and would like to think that he had played some small part in undermining man's arrogance towards the rest of the animal kingdom.
He spoke very positively of the emergence of ecology, whilst going on to say he was very optimistic about man's tremendous ingenuity to work out ways to minimise our impact on the planet. This is a positive vision in form only, because underneath it lies the assumption shared with enviromentalists that humans are not special except inasmuch as they create problems for everything else around us. He may be positive about our capabilities, but Morris is still no humanist; that would require a human-centred approach that sets us above mere beasts. It was interesting to see that the question posed by The Institute of Ideas debate, What is it to be Human?, emerging as a theme, if only by implication, in other Edinburgh International Book Festival talks.

Internationally bestselling author and world-famous human behaviorist Desmond Morris turns his attention to the female form, taking the reader on a guided tour of the female body from head to toe. Highlighting the evolutionary functions of various physiological traits, Morris's study explores the various forms of enhancement and constraint that human societies have developed in the quest for the perfect female form. This is very much vintage Desmond Morris, delivered in his trademark voice: direct, clear, focused, and communicating what is often complex detail in simple language. In THE NAKED WOMAN, Desmond builds on his unrivalled experience as an observer of the human animal while tackling one of his most fascinating and challenging subjects to date.

《裸猿》（The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal；ISBN 0-385-33430-3）是英國科學家德斯蒙德·莫利斯（Desmond Morris）在1967年所寫的一本探討人類行為的科學著作。在書裡，他把人類當作一種物種，亦即「裸猿」來看待。透過把「裸猿」與其他品種的動物比較，來討論人類的種種行為。本書認為：人類的大多數獨特行為都是因為生活所需而演化出來的，為要應付狩獵收集者（參看先天與後天）生活的挑戰。
本書引起很大的迴響討論，在全世界銷售超過一千萬本。
2006年，Daniel Mellitz亦根據本書的內容改編成另一套獨立電影，並由Josh Wise、Chelse Swain、Sean Shanks、Amanda MacDonald、Tony LaThanh及Corbin Bernsen等人主演。
