Product Description

Product Description

Jane Goodall's classic account of primate research provides an impressively detailed and absorbing account of the early years of her field study of, and adventures with, chimpanzees in Tanzania, Africa. It is a landmark for everyone to enjoy. 'Jane Goodall's work has already passed into the legends of culture...and represents one of the Western world's great scientific achievements ...Chimps, as our closest genealogical cousins, hold more of our common evolutionary heritage than any other species can. Chimpanzees are not so much the shadow of man as our mirror, only slightly blurred by the mists of time' Stephen Jay Gould --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, entertaining, funny, but often sad read, 7 Nov 2001
By karaturner@canada.com (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: In The Shadow Of Man (Paperback)
I read this book after I saw Jane Goodall lecture in Calgary, Canada. It is a wonderful description of the interactions between a group of chimpanzees and it gave me a new respect for these fascinating and intelligent animals. A well-written and well-organised narrative.

This review is from: In The Shadow Of Man (Paperback)
The only regret I had about this book was that I should have read it years ago. Brilliant.
