Desmond Morris' research indicates that, contrary to popular belief, our ancient ancestors practised a form of sexual equality and that it was only with the rise of urbanization that the delicate balance of the sexes was disturbed. In many cultures this imbalance has resulted in the exploitation and suppression of women. Desmond Morris explores the hundreds of bizarre and often cruel human rites of passage which have been used to underline gender differences and speculates on the possible outcome of the long-running battle of the sexes.
