Customer Review: A Wonderful Reflection by Dr. Goodall on her later years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe
Summary: 5 Stars
This book, a followup to "In The Shadow Of Man", tells what happened in Gombe after the first 10 years of Dr. Goodall's study of the chimps. A lot of her discoveries occurred during this later period. The reader is introduced to the chimps making war upon another group as well as dealing with cannabalism amongst its own members.
Her stories are related as if she is talking about real human persons rather than about our closest relative in the animal kingdom. She writes with a compassion that bridges the gap between our species and makes the reader really care about the good and bad things that happens to them.
I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning about how our species are similar and what is happening to these wonderfull creatures. Be sure to read her earlier book "In The Shadow Of Man" as well to get the whole story.
