Jane Goodall

Insights:

  1. Many science researchers criticized Jane Goodall for naming the chimpanzees she studied, and believed her discovery of chimpanzees using tools only after she showed them video evidence.
  2. Jane Goodall changed the way people have studied and viewed animals - seeing individuals with unique personalities and capabilities.
  3. Numbering research animals creates an emotional disconnect for the researcher from their subjects, in ways that researchers can justify cruel treatments.
