In the Shadow of Man by Jane Goodall
This book provides a fascinating and detailed account of the author's groundbreaking research on wild chimpanzees in Africa. The author offers insights into the complex social structure, behavior, and personalities of these primates, challenging the then-prevailing scientific belief that only humans were capable of having personalities and emotions. Through her studies, the author revolutionized our understanding of our closest relatives in the animal kingdom, and she also discusses the threats to their survival and the many challenges they face due to human activities.
