The Human Animal - A BBC Documentary SeriesZoologist Desmond Morris has for 40 years encouraged us to look the Human Animal by observing human behaviour as he would observe the behaviour of the natural world. His views were not without criticism, especially as at that time the feminist movement was strongly arguing that human and gender behaviour is entirely socially constructed. Throughout this site we will be challenging ideas around human, and especially gendered behaviour and exploring both biological essentialism and social constructivism and these video's represent a significant contribution to the overall debate. The videos on this page are not specifically about gender, but they are about human behaviour and within that are observations about gender difference. Each of the videos, the initial documentary and the each of the six part Human Animal documentary series, run for 50 to sixty minutes, so you may want to bookmark this page for future reference.
