Quote of the Day (Jane Goodall, on Disregarding Advice About Animals)

“When I started out I was told animals needed numbers not names, that mind, personality and emotion were unique to humanity. To me, this was so obviously not the case. A fact anyone with a pet could attest to.”— English primatologist and anthropologist Jane Goodall (1934-2025) quoted by Michael Segalov, “Interview: Jane Goodall: ‘People are Surprised I Have a Wicked Sense of Humour,’” The Guardian (UK), Feb. 18, 2023
