Jane Goodall is the world's foremost authority on chimpanzees, having closely observed their behavior for over 25years in the jungles of the Gombe National Park in East Africa, living in the chimp's environment and gaining their confidence. Her observations have been heralded as landmark discoveries in the study of primates, or primatology. Moreover, her research has shown that humans share a lot in common with chimpanzees.
Jane was born in London, England on April 3, 1934. Her father, Mother Goodall, was an engineer, while her mother, Vanne, who taught Jane to respect all living things, was an author. As a child, Jane loved being outdoors and reading stories about animals, particularly the Tarzan books. By the age of 10 or 11, she dreamed of going to Africa to live with animals. This was quite a radical aspiration in those days, as young girls did not think of embarking on such "wild" adventures, but Jane's mother encouraged her to pursue her dreams. Jane did not go to college, but instead took secretarial courses. She worked as a waitress to save money for her trip to Africa in 1957. She took a secretarial job in Nairobi, Kenya for a year before she met and was hired as the assistant of Dr. Louis Leakey, a renowned paleontologist and anthropologist. Later on, Leakey chose Jane to begin a study on wild chimpanzees on the shore of Lake Tanganyika, for he wanted someone with an unbiased perspective on the subject. The British authorities were initially adamant in not allowing a young woman to live among in Africa. But they finally agreed to Leakey's proposal when Jane's mother volunteered to accompany her for the first three months. Jane and her mother arrived at Gombe National Park in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) in July 1960. |
