Jane Goodall was born in London, England, in 1934. Her parents were Mortimer Herbert Morris-Goodall, a car-racing businessman, and Margaret Myfanwe Joseph, a novelist who published under the name Vanne Morris-Goodall.
When Jane was just over a year old, her father gave her a stuffed toy, a lifelike replica of a chimpanzee, named “Jubilee” after the first chimpanzee infant ever born at the London Zoo. The toy horrified some of her mother’s friends, who thought that it would give Jane nightmares. They could not foresee the favorable influence it would have on her.
Goodall’s interest in observing animal life showed up early. When she was 4, she wanted so badly to know how an egg came out of a hen that she hid inside a small henhouse for nearly four hours waiting to see it happen. Meanwhile, the whole household had been searching for her and had even reported her missing to the police.
