“It doesn’t matter what we do to the out-group. And, of course, drawing a sharp line between us and them is the same thing that happens with civil war – the in-group, the out-group,” she said. We’ve blurred the line that science has always tried to make so hard between us and them. We’re not the only beings with personalities, minds and feelings – above all feelings. We’re not as different as we used to think.

“The most valuable thing I’ve learned from the chimps is helping us to understand that we’re not so different. “It used to come back when I got worn out.”Īfter 60 years of studying primates, Goodall is considered the ultimate expert on chimpanzees. Goodall reports that she’s had attacks of malaria at least 30 times. He said, ‘You must go into Kigoma.’ And we said, ‘We can’t.’ Eventually we got better. And our cook, he was the only person there. We lay side-by-side with just the energy to pass the thermometer back and forth. “In Gombe we were told there was no malaria, and Mom and I didn’t have any medication and she nearly died, very nearly. While on her quest, both Goodall and her mother contracted malaria. “The authorities said, ‘Well, she can’t go alone.’ So Mom volunteered for four of those six months.” He got that from an American businessman who said, ‘All right, Louis, we’ll give you money for six months.’”Īt that time it wasn’t de rigueur for young women to travel solo. “Because he’d offered me this opportunity, … he had to find the money, and that wasn’t easy.

“I was in Nairobi with Louis for a year and then I went back (to England) while he tried to get money for me to go, and I got a job working with television - actually at the zoo - and also learning more about chimps,” she recalled. Leakey thought Goodall would be perfect for animal studies but had no money to pay her. So I got a temporary typing job and then heard about Louis Leakey and met him in Kenya,” she recalled. He knew the head in England, and they had a branch in Nairobi. So my uncle, who knew people in Kenya, had arranged for a firm to give me a temporary job. “I stayed with my friend for a while, but we’d always been firmly told you mustn’t overstay your welcome, sponge off people. Her first visit to Africa was simply as a tourist. “I was a 26-year-old and had saved up money working as a waitress that’s how I got my money,” she said. Before she met and was encouraged by paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey in Africa, she worked as a waitress and a typist and at a zoo. While the world knows of Goodall’s achievements, it’s hard to believe that she had a tough time getting started. I really was a naturalist from the time I was born.” It went into the history of medicine and the discovery of anesthetics, and I can still see the pictures, and I loved it. The prize was a hefty book, heavy, dense, with photographs called ‘The Miracle of Life.’ It was not for children.

They say ‘free’ and it’s not free at all. You didn’t also have to send a check for 50 pounds as you do today.

Those days you really got things free if you cut coupons off the packet of something. “I had a nanny, I was about 6 at the time, she stayed on when my sister was born, and she saved up coupons. Doolittle fascinated me, and ‘The Jungle Book,’ ‘Call of the Wild,’ every book I had was about animals,” she recalled. When we spoke some months ago, Goodall told me it was when she was a little girl that she first became entranced with the wild kingdom. The 10-episode series, aimed at families, premieres on Friday and is graced by Goodall’s approval via Jane Goodall Institute’s Andria Teather.
