Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist who shaped the world’s knowledge of chimpanzees, has died at 91. In 2021, she recalled how reading “Tarzan” as a child sparked her dream of living in Africa with animals. That dream led her from a job as a secretary to working with Louis Leakey, who recognized her passion and fresh perspective: “I clearly had an understanding of animals, and he felt that women might be better in the field, that we might be more patient.” https://cbsn.ws/4gP9wCh | CBS Su
