- Nov 07, 2020
Certainly, if you look at human behavior around the world, you have to admit that we can be very aggressive.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a small child in England, I had this dream of going to Africa. We didn't have any money and I was a girl, so everyone except my mother laughed at it. When I left school, there was no money for me to go to university, so I went to secretarial college and got a job.
- Change

Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.
- Capable

It was both fascinating and appalling to learn that chimpanzees were capable of hostile and territorial behavior that was not unlike certain forms of primitive human warfare.
- Always
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
War had always seemed to me to be a purely human behavior. Accounts of warlike behavior date back to the very first written records of human history; it seemed to be an almost universal characteristic of human groups.
- Looks

- Nov 07, 2020
When you meet chimps you meet individual personalities. When a baby chimp looks at you it's just like a human baby. We have a responsibility to them.
- Important

- Nov 07, 2020
I think the most important thing is to keep active and to hope that your mind stays active.
- Considerably
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We can't leave people in abject poverty, so we need to raise the standard of living for 80% of the world's people, while bringing it down considerably for the 20% who are destroying our natural resources.
- Human
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had been told from school onwards that the best definition of a human being was man the tool-maker - yet I had just watched a chimp tool-maker in action. I remember that day as vividly as if it was yesterday.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
- Language
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
We have language and they do not. Chimps communicate by embracing, patting, looking - all these things. And they have lots of sounds. But they cannot sit and discuss. They cannot teach about things that are not present, as far as we know.
- Hard
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I began in 1960, individuality wasn't an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There's room for intuition.
- Money
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My family has very strong women. My mother never laughed at my dream of Africa, even though everyone else did because we didn't have any money, because Africa was the 'dark continent', and because I was a girl.
- Political
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm highly political. I spend an awful lot of time in the U.S. trying to influence decision-makers. But I don't feel in tune with British politics.
- Fossil
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Certainly the first true humans were unique by virtue of their large brains. It was because the human brain is so large when compared with that of a chimpanzee that paleontologists for years hunted for a half-ape, half-human skeleton that would provide a fossil link between the human and the ape.
