The Human Animal: A Personal View of the Human Species
(1994)
The Language of The Body
Episode 1
In this first episode, Morris takes us through a world-wide tour of cultural body language differences, emphasizing the well known awkward situations they can produce for those unaware of such differences. More importantly, however, Morris digs deeper and finds that beyond the superficial differences there are biological similarities that turn out to be virtually universal, a product of our evolutionary history, so much so that we share many of them with our closest cousins: chimpanzees.
