Jane Goodall

I read this book about ten years ago, and to this day it remains one of my favorites. Jane Goodall had gone to secretary school and just happened to have a connection to the Leakey family, whose discoveries have shaped our view of evolution today. A young woman with no prior knowledge about chimpanzees finds herself in the middle of the Gombe, following chimps as they go about their daily business. Ultimately, these close cousins to our own species became her passion. This book is so touching and wonderful. I was completely captivated by the stories of David and Goliath, Fanny, Flo, and the rest of the gang. Once you've read it, you'll never look at chimps the same way again.

I just loved this book.  This book was published almost 20 years before I even existed and still this book is an amazing read. Jane Goodall's research is written in a funny and entertaining way and anyone can read it to know more about chimpanzees. And a lot of beautiful photographs by Hugo van Lawick. Even if you are not interested in chimpanzees, I can promise you that you will not get bored reading this book.

I loved this book and loved reading about the lives of the chimpanzees. Jane Goodall is very insightful and I enjoyed every moment of this book. I can't wait to read the next one that's basically a sequel to this one.

If I could suggest any one Jane Goodall book, this would be the book. This is where she started. It is emotionally charged and incredibly educational. I cannot think of a better book on Primatology. Bottom line is, Jane Goodall is an amazing person and this book captures that.

Louis and Mary Leakey were ground breaking British paleoanthropologists and archaeologists whose work importantly demonstrated that humans evolved in Africa. Coming along behind them in the the field of study regarding primates were three others who had worked with them: Biruté M.F. Galdikas, living alongside orangutans, Diane Fossey studying mountain gorillas, and Jane Goodall working with chimpanzees. These three leading female primatologists formed a group of what Louis Leakey (presumably

a real joy to read. i even found myself with a favorite chimp (fifi) while going through the chapters. its endlessly fascinating how intricate the lives are of our earth friends.

Re-read this book. First read in 1971 when I was studying Anthropology at Berkeley. Incredible story of Jane Goodall's establishment of the Gombe study of chimpanzees, and an introduction to a fascinating cast of chimp characters.

I really enjoyed this book. Normally I don't read science books, but kind of made an exception with this one because I admire Jane Goodall and her work with the chimpanzees. Thankfully for me, this book wasn't over my head and didn't use huge scientific words that I wouldn't know because I'm not a scientist. Goodall is a good writer. She picks out her words carefully for non-scientist to understand. She wants everyone to understand animals as much as she does and this book does that perfectly.
