 CHICAGO (AP) - Jane Goodall, the world's best-known observer of chimpanzee behavior, watched the chimps at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo on Saturday while a crowd of zoo-goers gathered to watch her.
"She's very important," one woman told two 6-year-old girls she'd brought to the zoo. "She did a lot of very exciting things."
Goodall, 72, is in Chicago for a three-day conference billed as the first scientific meeting on how chimpanzees think — not just how they behave. Goodall, who revolutionized research on primates during the 1960s when she studied them at close range in Tanzania, is scheduled to give a sold-out lecture Sunday at Navy Pier.
