In honor of the memory of one of the world’s greatest primatologists, Jane Goodall, we examine the creatures that have been watching us for hundreds of thousands of years.
Dr. Goodall devoted her entire adult life to studying and promoting the preservation of life on this planet. Her particular expertise was in the study of chimpanzees. While there is much that scientists did not know about these primates, it is possible that the chimpanzees knew more about us than we ever knew to be true.
The following video on YouTube was created to honor Dr. Goodall and prompt us to reflect on our own struggles to survive in an increasingly complex world. Any political connotations that might arise from this video are surely inadvertent and accidental. My apologies to the Neanderthals. In fact, although their species did not survive, they live in the genes of many of us today.
