When You Meet Chimps You Meet Individual

Is It Not Possible That The Chimpanzees Are Responding To Some Feeling Like Awe? A Feeling Generated By The Mystery Of Water; Water That Seems Alive, Always Rushing Past Yet Never Going, Always The Same Yet Ever Different. Was It Perhaps Similar Feelings Of Awe That Gave Rise To The First Animistic Religions, The Worship Of The Elements And The Mysteries Of Nature Over Which There Was No Control? Only When Our Prehistoric Ancestors Developed Language Would It Have Been Possible To Discuss Such Internal Feelings And Create A Shared Religion.

There Isn't A Sharp Line Dividing Humans From The Rest Of The Animal Kingdom. All The Time, We Find Animals Doing Things That, In Our Arrogance, We Thought Were Just Human.

Cumulatively Small Decisions, Choices, Actions, Make A Very Big Difference.

I Never Wanted To Give Up. I Thought I Might Have To. Especially At The Beginning When Chimpanzees Had Never Seen A White Person Before.they Gave One Look At Me And Ran Away! They Were Scared, But Eventually I Got Their Trust.

Animals Were My Passion From Even Before I Could Speak Apparently. When I Was About 10, 11 I Fell In Love With Tarzan.
