Dr. Goodall crowns her first quarter-century with the chimpanzees of
Gombe by giving a comprehensive, up-to-date account of her work, a grand
synthesis of animal behavior that presents a vast amount of information
about man's nearest phylogenetic relative. 336 black-and-white, 23
color halftones. Illustrations.
An historical document. The book gives us for the first time a
comprehensive analysis of chimpanzee behavior in its full range of
activities, and draws extensively from the work of other investigators
as well as from the studies at Gombe...With "The Chimpanzees of Gombe,"
Goodall's primacy in animal behavior studies is brought into clear
focus. Like the man [Louis Leakey] who hired her as an office worker 26
years ago, Goodall may already qualify as a legend in her own time.
