“A prima vista, è sorprendente che la religione abbia avuto tanto successo, ma la sua estrema potenza è semplicemente dovuta alla forza della nostra fondamentale tendenza biologica, ereditata direttamente dai nostri antenati scimmie e scimmioni, a sottometterci a un membro del gruppo onnipotente e dominatore."
da La Scimmia Nuda di Desmond Morris”

“...we are, despite all our great technological advances, still very much a simple biological phenomenon. Despite our grandiose ideas and our lofty self-conceits, we are still humble animals, subject to all the basic laws of animal behavior..."
- Desmond Morris from 'The Naked Ape: A Zoologist's Study of the Human Animal
[...] nonostante i grandi progressi tecnologici, noi siamo ancora fondamentalmente un semplice fenomeno biologico e, malgrado le nostre idee grandiose e l'alto concetto che abbiamo di noi stessi, siamo ancora degli umili animali, soggetti a tutte le leggi fondamentali del comportamento animale.”
