"I think that I learned the same sort of thing from watching chimpanzees and learning about my own mother and they way she raised me,"
"The most important thing is support. You need to support your child in what they want to do, they might change their mind but don't try and impose what you want your child to do on them, just support them. In chimpanzee society, the offspring of supportive mothers do better, they rise higher in the hierarchy, females have more offspring and look after more successfully so I think it's the same for humans."
Jane Goodall died of natural causes on Oct. 1 at age 91. She left a scientific legacy and family including son Hugo Eric Louis van Lawick, his wife Maria, and grandchildren Merlin, Angel, and Nick. Goodall observed strong parallels between human and chimpanzee family dynamics and emphasized that maternal support improves offspring outcomes, social rank, and reproductive success. Hugo was born March 4, 1967 in Nairobi to Goodall and Baron Hugo van Lawick. Goodall continued field research while raising him in the Tanzanian forest, divorced van Lawick in 1974, and later married Derek Bryceson, who died in 1980. Hugo did not pursue primate research professionally.
