Hairless Monkey for Children

Description
Book Introduction
A classic science book adapted from the longest-running bestseller in the science field for children.
The Naked Ape is a masterpiece by animal ecologist Desmond Morris, and has been a bestseller that has sparked worldwide controversy and buzz since its publication.
Translated into 28 languages, it has sold over 12 million copies and was named one of Time magazine's "100 Best Nonfiction Books of the 20th Century."
This book, which examines humans from a zoological perspective, is considered a monumental work that opened a new chapter in popular science books.
《The Naked Ape for Children》 explains in an easy-to-understand way that humans are also animals, where we come from, why we live the way we do, and what our hidden instincts are.
Human behavioral traits are a product of evolution for survival, and even though we live in modern cities filled with skyscrapers and cars, our bodies and minds still retain the instincts of prehistoric times when we ran on the grasslands.
This book helps us understand human nature and re-examine who we are and what we want in a changing global environment.
Especially today, when food shortages and climate crises are accelerating, we hope to convey a message that encourages children to take an interest in the origins and instincts of the human species and to look at their relationship with the Earth in a new way.

Publisher's Review
The timeless classic, The Naked Ape, reread through the eyes of a child.
Even before the well-known books The Selfish Gene and Cosmos, the first book to open the door to science to the general public was Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape, published 58 years ago.
"The Naked Monkey for Children" is a new interpretation of this classic, adapted for today's young readers.
Morris's unique zoological perspective on humans is conveyed in an easy and engaging way, and complex scientific theories are refined to a level that children can understand.
It is composed with rich illustrations to help children understand, and naturally stimulates their curiosity by asking questions that children might be curious about.
The final chapter goes beyond the story of evolution and invites reflection on how we as humans should live in a rapidly changing global environment.
"The Naked Monkey for Children" is a philosophical science book for children that uses science to reflect on human nature and the meaning of life.
From the recommendation/preface
I am a zoologist who has studied animals and humans for a long time.
Decades ago, I wrote a book called The Naked Ape, which took a fresh look at the origins of humanity.
It's not a fairy tale or an adventure story, it's a true story about where we came from and how we should live in the future.
I hope this book will be your first key to understanding the world, even for the youngest of the "naked monkeys."
- Original author Desmond Morris
The Naked Ape is a historic classic that opened the horizons of popular science.
Fifty years after its original publication, it is truly meaningful that The Naked Monkey for Children has been republished.
This book explains in an easy and fun way when and where humanity was born and why we live as we do now.
It will be a great guide to introduce children to the joy of science for the first time.
