Jane Goodall: "To Hugo and me, and indeed to many scientists interested in human behaviour and evolution, one very significant aspect of chimpanzee behaviour lies in the close similarity of many of their communicatory gestures and postures to those of man himself. Not only are the actual positions and movements similar to our own, but also the contexts in which they often occur." 1. Jane van Lawick Goodall, In the Shadow of Man (London: William Collins Sons & Co. Ltd Glasgow, 1971), 219.
Florence Nightingale: "Within a week of her arrival at the Institution Miss Nightingale challenged the governing bodies with her decision to admit Catholics and even Jews." 2. F. B Smith, Florence Nightingale (Manuka: Croom Helm Ltd, 1983), 11.
Steven Hawking: “We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.” 3. ThinkExist.com Quotations, "Steven Hawking Quotations," http://thinkexist.com/quotes/stephen_hawking/
NB: Goodall and Hawking may have more in common than expected ..
