I have a list of a few hundred of my favorite quotes. This quote belongs on the top of the list. What Jane Goodall said is very important and everyone needs to understand why.

Did working with chimps teach you anything about humans?

That we’ve been very arrogant in thinking that we’re so separate. Chimps turned out to be, not only behaviorally so like us, but also biologically like us, sharing 98.6 percent of DNA, similarities in immune system, blood composition, anatomy of the brain. We’re not, after all, separate from the animal kingdom. We’re part of it.

-- Jane Goodall
