Jane Goodall completely transformed our knowledge of our closest relative in the animal kingdom, the chimpanzee. She originally observed them with the intention to understand animal behavior. She summoned empathy to transform her relationship with chimpanzees from scientific subjects to friends. Within our own human species, we see one another as aliens, but imagine a world where we could summon a similar empathy as Jane Goodall. Could we find a way to build a more kind, thoughtful, tolerant society?
