Jane Goodall (1934-)

Sierra Club

Quotation

I do not want to discuss evolution in such depth, however, only touch on it from my own perspective: from the moment when I stood on the Serengeti plains holding the fossilized bones of ancient creatures in my hands to the moment when, staring into the eyes of a chimpanzee, I saw a thinking, reasoning personality looking back. You may not believe in evolution, and that is all right. How we humans came to be the way we are is far less important than how we should act now to get out of the mess we have made for ourselves.

Biographical

Jane Goodall is a primatologist and anthropologist conducting a forty-year study of chimpanzee social and family life in Africa. She was instrumental in recognition of social learning, thinking, acting, and culture in wild chimps, their differentiation from the bonobo, and the inclusion of both species along with the gorilla as Hominids.
