Much
of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the
groundbreaking, long-term research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall.
Jane Goodall was born in London, England,
on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday
, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named
after a baby chimp in the London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane’s life would take. To this day, Jubilee
sits in a chair in Jane’s London home. From an early age, Jane was fascinated
by animals and animal stories. By the age of 10, she was talking about going to
Africa to live among the animals there. At the time, in the early 1940s, this
was a radical idea because women did not
go to Africa by themselves.
