Jane Goodall began studying chimpanzees in 1960 at Gombe Stream Game Reserve which is now in Tanzania, but her first study of animal behavior took place some 20 years earlier.
Her love for animals helped drive Goodall to become one of the most famous scientists of the 20th century. Her change from a child to a worldwide idol is written in "Becoming Jane", a show in Washington, D.C. through September 7. After that, it heads to the National History Museum of Los Angeles County.
"Becoming Jane" is high-tech which will draw the attention of both adults and youngsters. For those who have followed Goodall's closely, the real charm is seeing her birthday gifts and books from her childhood, Ph. D. papers and other personal belongings and photos.
During the show, visitors will follow the path of her childhood dream gradually coming true, then the course of her field study about chimpanzees in African wild forests, with great achievements, and finally her recent life as an Animal Rights activist.
