Fifty years ago, primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall had her first encounters with the chimpanzees of the Gombe. Then a young researcher, Goodall observed wild chimpanzees in the Gombe making and using tools -- a finding that changed the field of primate research dramatically. She joins us this hour for a conversation about about her work in studying chimpanzees, preserving habitats, and what lies ahead for the field of evolutionary science. |
