Jane Goodall was interviewed in the most recent Sierra magazine about her latest work focusing on people, not chimpanzees:
"Sierra: What has your many years' observation of chimpanzees taught you about human behavior?
Goodall: It's taught me that our aggressive tendencies have probably been inherited from an ancient primate some 6 million years ago. But also love, compassion, and altruism--we find these qualities in chimpanzees as well. So if we believe in the common ancestor, both of these characteristics--the dark side of our nature as well as the more noble side--we've probably brought with us from the past. Some people say, therefore, that violence and war are inevitable. I say rubbish: Our brains are fully capable of controlling instinctive behavior. We're not very good at it, though, are we?"
