She continued in her successful television career but also followed up on her new aquatic ape work with a slew of articles and talks as well as four more books: The Aquatic Ape (1982), The Scars of Evolution (1990), The Descent of the Child (1994), and The Aquatic Ape Hypothesis (1997).
The result, The Descent of Woman, was a huge success, at least in the popular arena, and was translated into nine languages. After nearly 20 years in television, Morgan read Robert Ardrey’s African Genesis and Desmond Morris’s The Naked Ape, did not like what she read, and in reaction came up with her first book on human evolution using the “aquatic ape” idea she had first discovered in Morris’s short write up of the idea.
