That's a great point - I should have used "some".
Still racist, and still the source of memes and dog whistles by low intellect types on the Internet.

I’m sorry about this. I truly enjoyed her research. Looked her up and some interesting factoids.
Got into her research thru a crush on Tarzan, believing she would have been a better partner for him than Jane.
Had face blindness which she compensated for by observing external characteristics and habits. Wonder how it affected her chimp research.
Lost the top of her thumb when a chimp in a lab bit it off. OUCH!
Jane Goodall had pets, including her beloved childhood dog Rusty, a horse, and a tortoise. Chimps were classes under friends.

In my experience, anyone who uses the term “dog whistle” can’t be taken seriously.
Dr. Goodall seemed like a genuinely good person who furthered our understanding of the primate world. RIP Jane.
I always confused her with Dian Fossey
Dian Fosey did the gorillas.
Please!
LOL! Perhaps.

Heard her on the Adam Carolla show. One of the most arrogant and condescending people that I’ve ever heard.

Sad, but she lived a very interesting life.
Far be it from me to judge. Different strokes for different folks.
