By settling among chimpanzees – creatures capable of attention, violence, culture, mourning, and care – by sharing their lives and studying their behavior, far beyond a simple existence among animals, Jane GOODALL allowed humanity to learn about itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Le Point<\/em> on October 9, Peggy SASTRE paid tribute to “the ethnologist who delivered the last rites to the human moral monopoly.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n We wish to join this tribute to a woman who lived among chimpanzees with no hypothesis to defend, no theory to confirm – a freedom of mind that allowed her to see what so few ever manage to perceive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “A woman without a real diploma, but with a gaze beautifully incompatible with academic domestication.<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n By humanizing the apes, she rendered more animal the idea humanity had built of itself. She encouraged women and men to reconsider their own self-importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “With the death of Jane GOODALL, it is as if a heretic has vanished. She not only shattered the scientific representation of the animal; she delivered the final sacraments to the human moral monopoly.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By settling among chimpanzees – creatures capable of attention, violence, culture, mourning, and care – by sharing their lives and studying their behavior, far beyond a simple existence among animals, Jane GOODALL allowed humanity to learn about itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[671,673,668,675,670,678,669,672,674,677,676],"class_list":["post-9954","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tribunes","tag-animal-condition","tag-ecological-thought","tag-ethnology-of-the-living-world","tag-ethology","tag-human-animal-relationship","tag-humanity-and-responsibility","tag-jane-goodall-2","tag-limits-of-the-human-moral-monopoly","tag-scientific-humility","tag-scientific-legacy","tag-shift-in-perspective"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9954","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9954"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9954\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10009,"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9954\/revisions\/10009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9954"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9954"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.seawards.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9954"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
