He would later secure funding for her early research. While she was in Africa, she had the opportunity to meet the great paleontologist Louis Leakey, who became her adviser and teacher. When she was an adolescent she decided that she would study animals in Africa and after college she was able to visit Africa for three weeks with a friend. Goodall was born in England just before World War II and grew up in the post-war period.
Early on, Goodall was fascinated by animals, though she was not as focused on chimpanzees until later in life. The next seven chapters describe how Goodall rose to this position. She spends about a third of the year in Gombe National Park in Tanzania, Africa and has been doing so since 1960 with her field staff. Goodall explains that animal behavior may be studied and that ethologists are those who study that behavior. Chapter 1 introduces Goodall to the reader but focuses mostly on the study of ethology, explaining to her reader what her field is all about and how it was founded and developed. My Life with the Chimpanzees has nine short chapters. One of the points of the book is to make Goodall's work accessible to children and young adults that have similar interests in the animal world. The pages of My Life with The Chimpanzees make the legend of Jane Goodall a more concrete reality. She has also produced a large number of books and a larger number of documentaries that have been seen all over the world.
Goodall is still known across the world as the first scientist who studied chimpanzees in their natural habitat and has won many awards for her work. My Life with the Chimpanzees is a book for young adults that tells the story of Jane Goodall's rise to become one of the world's great ethologists and the world's expert on chimpanzee behavior in the wild.
