The Human Zoo by Desmond Morris
A provocative anthropological study that likens modern urban life to a human zoo, arguing that people evolved for small, close-knit groups and often suffer stress, aggression and abnormal behaviors when confined in dense, anonymous city environments; it examines crowd dynamics, territoriality, social signaling, mating and aggression, and suggests that understanding innate human instincts can inform architecture, social planning and policy to reduce alienation and improve urban living.
