Fascinating Fridays — Jane Goodall: Inspiring a Legacy of Compassion, Conservation, and Advocacy
<p>Goodall’s love for animals blossomed when she received a stuffed chimpanzee toy from her father as a child. Despite judgment from others, her parents supported her interest, and she ended up in Kenya in 1957. There, she crossed paths with Louis Leakey, a Kenyan archaeologist, and paleontologist, who sent her to Tanzania in 1958 to study primate behaviour and anatomy. Goodall credits her mother for backing her pursuit in primatology, a male-dominated field at the time, leading her to become the eighth person allowed to pursue a PhD at Cambridge University without a bachelor’s degree. Eventually, she earned a Bachelor’s degree in natural sciences.</p>
