How did Jane Judal change the way we see animals – and the world

Jin -Godal, who died at the age of 91, changed the world through the way the animals saw, especially chimpanzees.

In 1960, when she was twenty -six years old, she noticed chimpanzees called David Greybeard Fishing for termites with two branches stripped of leaves. She later said: “At that time, he believed that humans, and humans only used the tools and made. I was told from school, ascended that the best definition of a person is the man of the tools-however I just saw the chimpanch tool maker at work,” she said later.

She reported her discovery to her teacher, the capital of the capital, Louis Luke, who sent a famous telegram in the response: “Now we must redefine a” tool “, redefine the” man “, or accept the chimpanzee as human beings.

In the end, we chose the middle option and searched for something else that we can do not for other animals. But the work of Goodall was vital to undermining the view of the exception and human superiority that prevailed not only among scientists but in society as a whole.

Her work was targeted by the French philosopher Rene Descartes, who prompted animal exploitation and destroying the environment for 400 years. Descartes said that animals have no soul and can be considered machines to use as we do. Goodll showed that chimpanzees had intelligence and insight to design and build tools, but he attributed them emotions and characters. Some were calm, such as David Greybeard, others shy, curious or shameful.

In this, she repeated her work from another world that changes the world with great monitoring authorities. In his book Expressions of emotions in humans and animalsCharles Darwin tried to explain the development of facial expressions, and promised them to emotional states: jealousy, anger, love, etc. But he did this in animals as well as humans, and the institution rejected.

The book was weak at that time and neglected for more than 100 years. Goodll was also rejected in the 1960s at the beginning and even his mockery. This did not help to be a young woman without a degree. Darwin and Goodall were driven by inadmable curiosity, patient strength, and intense observation – these characteristics are behind their success. (when New world Over what young scientists need, “patience, in huge grass and bulldozers.”) We now understand that Darwin is present on the right: Many animals have feelings, emotions and internal life.

Goodll was chosen by Leakey to study chimpanzees in Gombe in what is now known as Tanzania. Liki was interested in understanding human development and deducting the behavior of the chimpanzee predecessor and common human beings, and decided that the wild chimpanzees study, which no one did, would be a good way to do so. He wanted a person who is not biased about firm scientific thinking, and he believed that women would make a more impatient biologist. The trained biologist is unlikely to have achieved the breakfasts of what goodll did.

Initially, her notes on chimpanzee were distant glimpses, through perspectives. But gradually, their acceptance won. He was the first to trust him was the person described by David Grapeder, a male with white hair on his chin. (You would have had a doctorate at Cambridge, and they were reprimanded to give animal names, not numbers, but it was natural that you all name them.) She saw David Gharibaard stripping from two branches and then using it to hunt termites from termites, and reported their results to Liki. She said later: “David Greerd and its use tool was the moment that changed everything,” she said later.

She was also the first scientist to make descriptions of chimpanzees, rituals of mating, their reproductive courses, and how mothers introduced their children to the experienced mothers-experienced mothers, found Judal, and allowed calm for others to see the child, while mothers for the first time failed the child and stabilizers in the forces.

In the seventies of the last century, the focus of her life began to change, and move from the monitoring of chimpanzees to defending it. So its second phase began to change the world. CreateJin -Guodal InstituteIn 1977, which became a vast non -profit protection organization, with offices in 25 countries. In 1986, she organized a conference for field biologists working on chimpanzees in locations throughout Africa, and has pushed the house the threat facing the animals and forests they depend on. I also learned about the problems facing people who live near chimpanzees.

In 1991 it started Roots and budsOrganization aimed at educating young people from preservation. It is active in more than 75 countries. You are constantly touring and talking about memorization, she presented about 300 general matches per year. In 2024, it visited the offices of the Jin -Godal Institute to speak to the media about the work of conservation and animal rights.

Godal died in California, in the middle of the speaking round. I wrote 32 books, including 15 books for children. At the end, Book of HopeI wrote: “I realized that if we could not help people find a way to earn a living without destroying the environment, there is no way we can try to save chimpanzees.”

Godal talked about the influence of another person from the most important figures in the twentieth century, the environment scientist and preserved by Rachel Carson. At Cambridge University in the 1960s, she said: “I read Rachel Carson Silent Spring She was inspired by her courage to fight with pharmaceutical companies, government and scientists about the danger to the D.

She said that Carson knew that there was a long battle in front of us, but she never surrendered and would continue to inspire her. The same applies to Jane Godal.
