Jane Goodall, who died on Wednesday at the age of 91, spent decades teaching about the intelligence of chimpanzees. She left behind powerful lessons about aging " and living well " too. nyti.ms/3IS8XuH[image or embed]

Irwin and Goodall. And soon David Attenborough. I hope someone out there can step up to their level as advocates for the planet.

RIP, Jane.

That's being pretty rude to the chimp.

She was a rare individual equally beautiful inside and out.

She also promoted theistic evolution, had the courage to live among chimps knowing full well how murderous they could be, openly compared trump to lower primates, raised a child while studying a violent troop, and considered herself a Christian.
