" I do believe in the possibility of a world where we can live in harmony with nature. But only if every one of us does our part to make that world a reality."~ Jane Goodall
Women in Science: Dr June Goodall
In the summer of 1960, 26-year-old Jane Goodall arrived on the shore of Lake Tanganyika in East Africa to study the area’s wild chimpanzee population. Although at the time it was unheard of for a woman to venture into the African wilderness, Jane persisted as the trip meant the fulfilment of her childhood dream. Jane’s work in Tanzania would prove to be more successful than anyone could have possibly imagined.In October 1960 Jane observed two chimps, David Graybeard and Goliath, striping leaves off twigs in order to make tools for fishing termites from a nest. This was truly a ground breaking moment for science as until that moment scientists thought that only humans were capable of making and using tools - in fact, humans were known as “man, the tool maker”. This discovery lead to one of Jane’s many accolades “the woman who redefined man”. Jane further identified that chimpanzees have a set of complex and highly-developed social behaviours. https://www.janegoodall.org.au/ Image https://i.ytimg.com/vi/HdYfhPPBt0E/hqdefault.jpg Women in Science: Dr June Goodall
