Page "Jane Goodall" Paragraph 1

Jane Goodall was born in London, England in 1934 to Mortimer Herbert Morris-Goodall, a businessman, and Margaret Myfanwe Joseph, a novelist who wrote under the name Vanne Morris-Goodall.

As a child she was given a lifelike chimpanzee toy named Jubilee by her father ; her fondness for the toy started her early love of animals.

Today, the toy still sits on her dresser in London.

As she writes in her book, Reason For Hope: " My mother's friends were horrified by this toy, thinking it would frighten me and give me nightmares.

" Goodall has a sister, Judith, who shares the same birthday, though the two were born four years apart.
