Editing Jane Goodall (section)

==Africa==
Goodall had always been drawn to animals and Africa, which brought her to the farm of a friend in the [[Kenya]] highlands in 1957.<ref name="JanesStory" /> From there, she obtained work as a secretary, and acting on her friend's advice, she telephoned [[Louis Leakey]],<ref>{{cite web|title= Jane Goodall Biography and Interview |website=www.achievement.org|publisher=[[American Academy of Achievement]]|url= https://www.achievement.org/achiever/jane-goodall/#interview}}</ref> the Kenyan archaeologist and palaeontologist, with no other thought than to make an appointment to discuss animals. Leakey, believing that the study of existing great apes could provide indications of the behaviour of early [[hominids]],<ref>{{Cite AV media |date=June 2007 |title=Jane Goodall helps humans and animals live together |url=http://www.ted.com/talks/jane_goodall_at_tedglobal_07.html |publisher=[[TED (conference)|TED]] |location=[[Arusha]], [[Tanzania]] |access-date=28 July 2010}}</ref> was looking for a chimpanzee researcher, though he kept the idea to himself. Instead, he proposed that Goodall work for him as a secretary. After obtaining approval from his co-researcher and wife, British [[paleoanthropologist]] [[Mary Leakey]], Louis sent Goodall to [[Olduvai Gorge]] in [[Tanganyika (territory)|Tanganyika]] (now part of [[Tanzania]]), where he laid out his plans.<ref name="Richards 2000"/>

In 1958, Leakey sent Goodall to London to study primate behaviour with [[William Charles Osman Hill|Osman Hill]] and primate anatomy with [[John Napier (primatologist)|John Napier]].<ref name=Morell1995>{{Cite book |last=Morell |first=Virginia |year=1995 |title=Ancestral Passions: the Leakey family and the quest for humankind's beginnings |publisher=Simon & Schuster |location=New York |isbn=978-0-684-80192-6 |page=[https://archive.org/details/ancestralpassion00more/page/242 242] |url=https://archive.org/details/ancestralpassion00more/page/242}}</ref> Leakey raised funds, and on 14 July 1960, Goodall went to [[Gombe Stream National Park]], becoming the first of what would come to be called [[The Trimates]].<ref name="GoodallPeterson2002">{{Cite book |last1=Goodall |first1=Jane |last2=Peterson |first2=Dale |title=Beyond Innocence: An Autobiography in Letters: The Later Years |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Kdr0TP7ou0wC&pg=PA1 |access-date=13 July 2011 |date=25 September 2002 |publisher=Houghton Mifflin Harcourt |isbn=978-0-618-25734-8 |page=1}}</ref> She was accompanied by her mother, whose presence was necessary to satisfy the requirements of David Anstey, chief warden, who was concerned for their safety.<ref name="JanesStory">{{Cite web |title=Early Days |url=http://www.janegoodall.org/janes-story |access-date=28 July 2010 |publisher=[[Jane Goodall Institute]] |year=2010}}</ref> Goodall credits her mother with encouraging her to pursue a career in [[primatology]], a male-dominated field at the time.
