About this audiobook
At a meeting in 1962, a young woman turned the scientific community upside down with the announcement that chimpanzees make tools in the wild. Jane Goodall’s discovery was the beginning of thirty years of patient and intimate primate observation in the wilds of Kenya; years that redefined what it is to be a human being.
