Well, it was, you know, for the first four of my six months money, the chimps ran away. I mean, they just vanished into the forest. And I just had to learn from a distance with binoculars. And then one chimpanzee began to lose his fear and let me get a bit closer. And he had beautiful white hair on his chin. I called him David Greybeard.

And on this day, I was walking through the forest and I saw him sitting on a termite mound. So he was pulling out this with termites hanging on and eating them. And sometimes he was picking leafy twigs, then he had to strip the leaves to make a tool. And the reason this was so exciting is that at that time, it was thought by Western science that only humans used and made tools.

We were defined as man, of course, man, the toolmaker. And so when I wrote to my mentor, Louis Leakey, he was just so excited. And so as we're defined as man, the tool maker, he said, we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans. And that was when the National Geographic stepped in and said, well, Jane's money runs out. We'll continue to support her.

And so then I could relax. And really, I got to know those chimpanzees almost like members of my family.

Well, I've been intimidated, don't worry. The first time I had to give a lecture, I thought I would die. And for the first, I don't know, it seemed forever, I couldn't even breathe, but nobody noticed. And so, basically, because I was so terrified of speaking in public, I practiced, and I made a vow. I will never read a speech, and I won't say, Amen, Err.

And if you listen, you find I'm in the odd arm, but basically I don't. And so my advice to people is, you know, be sure of what you're going to say. And if necessary, practice. Like before every lecture, even if I've given the same one The previous week, I always write down the point. So it's my mind is totally focused.
