At 83, Jane Goodall continues to be a force for both chimpanzee research and conservation. It’s amusing to see how much makeup young Goodall wore, presumably for the camera. Others reference a “Pert Scientist.” Though my favourite has to be: “The Primates of Ms. Jane Goodall,” followed by the subhead: “Eat Your Heart Out, Fay Wray.”Chuckles aside, the documentary Jane also shows the young scientist dealing with professional and personal adversity. After Jane gave birth, her young son had to spend time in a cage – shades of Planet of the Apes – to avoid being attacked by the wild apes. You may decry this as anthropomorphism, but surely Goodall is in the best position to know.
