A la sombra del hombre Paperback – Sept. 28 2023

Purchase options and add-ons
Publicada originalmente en 1971, A la sombra del hombre fue la obra pionera en documentar, de forma desconocida hasta entonces, la actividad de toda una comunidad de primates, concretamente la existente en la reserva de chimpancés de Gombe Stream (hoy Parque Nacional de Gombe), en la actual Tanzania. Se trata por ello de una de esas obras destinadas a conservar su vigencia como clásico de la ciencia y de la etología, pues en ella Jane Goodall dejó por primera vez testimonio fehaciente de la vida y conducta de la especie animal genéticamente más próxima a la humana, estela que en breve seguirían Dian Fossey con los gorilas y Biruté Galdikas con los orangutanes. Fue, en este sentido, una verdadera hazaña, equiparable a cualquiera de los grandes descubrimientos geográficos o científicos. La presente 徱ó reproduce el texto revisado y definitivo de la obra que la autora publicó en 1988.

About the author

Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace, is an iconic voice for holistic, compassionate, and sustainable solutions. Through her global advocacy as an ethologist and environmentalist, she is shaping attitudes and policy on issues ranging from human rights to the climate crisis, and inspiring action through the power of hope.
Jane Goodall was born on April 3rd, 1934, in London, England. At the age of 26, Jane followed her passion for wildlife and Africa to Gombe, Tanzania. There, under the mentorship of paleoanthropologist Dr. Louis Leakey, she began her landmark study of chimpanzees in the wild. Her revelatory observation in 1960 that chimpanzees make and use tools rocked the scientific landscape and forever redefined our understanding of the relationship between humans and other animals.
In 1977, Dr. Goodall established the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI), a global community-led conservation, research, and animal welfare organization to advance her vision of a better future for all. In 1991, Dr. Goodall created Roots & Shoots, JGI's international youth program, now active in more than 60 countries, to develop the compassionate changemakers our world needs.
From scientist to world-renowned activist, Jane has been a leader in the community-led conservation and animal welfare movements for decades.
