chimpanzees in Podcasts

Jane gave multiple TED Talks over the years, and in honor of her expansive life and work, we are sharing her first TED Talk from 2003 with you all today. She reflects on her decades of work with chimpanzees and what they've taught her about humanity, the environment, and what our future could hold.

Her extensive research into the behavior of chimpanzees, which started in Africa in the 1960s and continued until her death, fundamentally altered scientific thinking around the relationship between humans and other mammals and helped us rethink what it means to live on this planet.
