Jane Goodall - RIP

There goes another remarkable woman.

Jane Goodall, who gave chimps their souls back, dead at 91

British primatologist Jane Goodall entered the African wilderness at 26 years old without any formal scientific training or university degree. She emerged with research that forever changed how we understood the animal kingdom.

She was sent to Tanzania with no formal training or university degree. She was also a young woman at a time when the scientific community was overwhelmingly male. Few believed her research would amount to anything, let alone forever change how the human world understood the animal kingdom.

But that's exactly what happened. When she sent her observation to her supervisor, famed paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey, legend has it that he declared: "Now we must redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as humans!"

One hell of a legacy, one hell of a woman
