Item Description
Jane Goodall changed the world's thinking in 1960 when she first observed a non-human fashion and use a tool. Until then humans were distinguished as "man, the tool maker."
When her mentor, archeologist Louis Leakey, first learned of Jane's discovery, he wired back, "Now we must redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as humans."
You are bidding on a genuine tool made and used by a chimpanzee at Gombe National Park in Tanzania, where Jane made her groundbreaking discovery.
The tool is beautifully displayed with photos of the young researcher Jane and baby chimpanzee Flint, two photos of chimpanzees using tools to fish for termites, and the famous quote from Louis Leakey. The framed presentation is 22" by 30".
