BBC The Human Animal 3 of 6 Desmond Morris

******************************************************************************* The Human Animal - Part 3 of 6: The Human Zoo ******************************************************************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- General Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Type.................: documentary - dokumentär Author/Presenter.....: Desmond Morris More information.....: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Morris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Detta är en fantastisk dokumentärserie om människan i sex delar. En kommentar från imdb är tex: "This is one the best documentary ever made. This should be watched by all teenagers to get a good understanding of people behavior. It makes one feel part of nature, not "superior" or ruling nature. I enjoyed it very much." The Human Animal by Desmond Morris (who also wrote "The Naked Ape") which accompanies a major six-part series, shows that, however much we may think we have evolved from our animal ancestors, our instincts and behaviour are still rooted in our animal past. By denying this inheritance we are in danger of destroying everything we have strived so hard to create. Despite the different skin colours, beliefs and rituals to be found in the 5000 million human beings alive today, we actually all share an almost identical genetic heritage. In this portrait of the human species, Desmond Morris takes us right to the centre of human existence and explores all aspects of human life and behaviour. From the way we rear our young to the common use of certain facial gestures, he covers a fascinating variety of subjects: how our hunting instincts have been channelled into an extraordinary range of sporting activities; how the modern art world can trace its roots back to an early primate picking up a stone resembling a face; how different courtship rituals across the world reflect the universal emotion of love. Desmond Morris also looks at some of the damaging consequences that can be seen when we try to deny our animal heritage: how territorial fights erupt when the tribal systems within our overcrowded cities break down, and how human relationships disintegrate when natural social or sexual patterns change. Both candid and entertaining, Desmond Morris exposes our foibles, celebrates our triumphs and gives us a new understanding of the way we behave. A world-renowned zoologist, he has already fundamentally changed the way we perceive ourselves. Now The Human Animal takes us one step closer to confronting our true identity. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Part 3: The Human Zoo In evolutionary terms, the human animal has gone from mud hut to skyscraper in the mere twinkling of an eye. The cameras of the Natural History Unit capture the subtleties of human hierarchy in an English pub, the urge to set up and defend territory in a Tokyo park, and tribal behaviour as displayed by gangs in Los Angeles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I serien får man alltså en Zoologs perspektiv på människan. Det vill säga se oss människor som det djur som vi ju faktiskt alla är. Serien har gått på svensk TV en gång förut och jag satt som förtrollad och tittade. Filen har två ljudspår. Ett spanskt som är default tyvärr. Men också ett engelskt. Fås lätt fram i spelaren VLC genom att ändra ljudspår från spår 1 till spår 2. Change audio track from spanish to english if you prefer english. This is done easy in VLC player for example.
