After her passing, Jane Goodall’s connection to Duke University lives on

Jane Goodall’s passing earlier this month prompted tributes from all over the world honoring her work as a primatologist, anthropologist and conversationalist. The impact has been felt here in the Triangle as well.

Duke University housed Goodall’s extensive archives, including observations and complete life histories of the more than 200 chimpanzees she dedicated her career to studying.

She talks to Due South’s Jeff Tiberii about what she learned from Goodall and about the special link Goodall had to our region.
