About This Lesson
When Jane Goodall and her peers Dian Fossey and Birutė Galdikas began their longitudinal studies of chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, respectively, they began more than one revolution in the biological sciences.
This is a wonderful film to teach with for Women's History Month in March, Earth Month in April, and on Jane Goodall's birthday on April 3!
