I read his books many years ago and I remember only a general impression. I quite enjoyed "The Naked Ape" (somewhat less "The Human Zoo").
I am *not* suggesting that Desmond Morris is superficial, but he hasn't the depth of a Konrad Lorenz - and of course there has been relevant progress in ethology, zoology and anthropology in later years.
Desmond Morris isn't the greatest scientific authority on these subjects, but his books are pleasantly readable and interesting.
(Probably the best narrative description of a human zoo I have ever read is Neal Stephenson's "Snow Crash".)
