More than a trailblazing scientist, Jane Goodall created the foundation of modern primatology. Revisit her legacy in the latest episode of ABC's "Big Ideas" podcast, hosted by Dr Mark E Hauber (CUNY Graduate Center Prof. of Biology and Psychology and our executive director). bit.ly/3W1Xpv1

The legacy of Jane Goodall —from chimp whisperer to changing how science understands primates - ABC listen
Jane Goodall’s radical ideas that animals have individual personalities, relationships and even emotions reshaped how we understand primates. It also sparked fierce ethical debates that are still playing out today: Do great apes have rights? What responsibilities do researchers carry when studying minds so much like our own? Jan Goodall wasn't just a trailblazing scientist. She became one of the most influential conservationists of the last century and created the foundation of modern primatology.  City of Science: Jane Goodall and Her Legacy was presented at the CUNY Graduate...
