520 1 $a"When Louis Leakey first heard about Jane Goodall's discovery that chimps fashion and use tools, he sent her a telegram: "Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as human." Until that moment Leakey, like many of his scientific peers, had relied on the standard definition of human: Man the Toolmaker." "But when Goodall first presented her discoveries at a scientific conference, she was ridiculed by the powerful chairman, who warned one of his distinguished colleagues not to be misled by her "glamour". She was too young, too blond, too pretty to be a serious scientist, and worse yet, she had virtually no formal scientific training. She had been a secretarial school graduate when Leakey, unable to find someone with the right credentials, sent her out to study, chimps. And once she was in the field he couldn't tell her what to do - nobody could - because no one before had made such an intensive and long-term study of wild apes." "Dale Peterson shows clearly and convincingly how truly remarkable Goodall's accomplishments have been and how unlikely it is that anyone else could have duplicated them. He details not only how Jane Goodall revolutionized the study of primates, our closest relatives, but also how she helped set radically new standards and a new intellectual style in the study of animal behavior. And he reveals the very private quest that led to another sharp turn in her life, from scientist to activist."--BOOK JACKET.
