Jane Goodall gave me this gift when I was a young girl. She taught me never to view animals in human terms. They're their own kind of mystery, one that we must cherish & respect
Jane Goodall showed us that chimpanzees not only echo our behaviours, but are also beings whose violence, estrangement, and silence mark them as irreducibly other. @Poojaspillai writes https://t.co/UlsAnz9rUY
