World-renowned primatologist, conservationist, and humanitarian Jane Goodall died yesterday at the age of 91.

Dubbed the woman who redefined man, Jane changed our perceptions of primates, people, and the connection between the two.

And while she didn't exactly find the missing link, she came closer than just about anyone else on Earth.

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.

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.

That was Jane Goodall speaking at TED 2003.
