Chimp champion HOW JANE CHANGED THE WORLD

The animal pioneer lived amongst the creatures she loved from childhood

- 

Dame Jane Goodall, who died last week aged 91, dedicated her life to changing how the world understood animals and, in turn, humanity itself.

A statement from her eponymous institute said she died of natural causes while on a speaking tour in California.

“Dr Goodall’s discoveries as an ethologist revolutionised science, and she was a tireless advocate for the protection and restoration of our natural world,” it said.

Born in London in 1934, Jane dreamed of living with wild animals and writing about them from the age of 10. Many just threw back their heads in mirth.
