Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees comes from the groundbreaking, long-term research of the great conservationist, Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall was born in London, England, on April 3, 1934. On her second birthday, her father gave her a toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. Jubilee was named after a baby chimp in the London Zoo, and seemed to foretell the course Jane’s life would take. From an early age, Jane was fascinated by animals and animal stories. By the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the animals there. At the time, in the early 1940s, this was a radical idea because women did not go to Africa by themselves.
As a young woman, Jane finished school in London, attended secretarial school, and then worked for a documentary filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visit Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23 years old. Once in Kenya, she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist and anthropologist. He was impressed with her thorough knowledge of Africa and its wildlife, and hired her to assist him and his wife on a fossil-hunting expedition to Olduvai Gorge. Dr. Leakey soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time. She expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals through paleontology.
Dr. Leakey and Jane began planning a study of a group of chimpanzees who were living on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Kenya. At first, the British authorities would not approve their plan. At the time, they thought it was too dangerous for a woman to live in the wilds of Africa alone. But Jane’s mother, Vanne, agreed to join her so that she would not be alone. Finally, the authorities gave Jane the clearance she needed in order to go to Africa and begin her study.

When I first entered general practice I was living in a small community on the east coast of Lake Huron.

Although I had few companions, I was a young, unmarried and attractive woman who had been through one of the best medical schools in the country, and had a reasonable regard for my own qualities. It was upsetting at first when professional was ignored and my patients insisted on second opinions for the most trivial of conditions, but things became even more difficult when people started to spread malicious about my private life.

I got up early every morning, to my office, and followed my profession. This was in the ‘30s and the level of poverty was . Children didn't have enough to eat and mothers couldn't feed them. Because I was sympathetic and able to give practical help in some cases, my surgery became a for women trying to escape from the threat of domestic violence and the trap of poverty and too many children.

The Art of Giving and Taking
Gift exchange, which is also called ceremonial exchange, is the transfer of goods or services that, although regarded as (VOLUNTEER) by people involved, is part of the expected social (BEHAVE). Gift exchange may be distinguished from other types of exchange in several respects. The first offering is made in a generous manner and there is no haggling between donor and (RECEIVE). The exchange is an expression of an existing social relationship or the establishment of a new one that differs from (PERSON) market relationships; and the profit in gift exchange may be in the sphere of social relationship and prestige rather than in material advantage. The gift-exchange cycle entails (OBLIGE) to give, to receive, and to return. Sanctions may exist to induce people to give. (REFUSE) to accept a gift may be seen as rejection of social relations and may lead to enmity. The reciprocity of the cycle rests in the (NECESSARY) to return the gift. The prestige associated with the appearance of (GENEROUS) dictates that the value of the return is (APPROXIMATE) equal to or greater than the value of the original (SIGNIFY) expression of social relations.
