(2) 4-6 Goodall centers her discussion on the animals: their tool use, interactions among family groups (especially mothers and their young), and intelligence and emotions. Descriptions of the chimpanzees are richly detailed and filled with personality. Goodall's affectionate relationship with the chimpanzees is evident in the photos from forty years of research. Final chapters explain the dangers faced by chimpanzees not only in the wild but in captivity.
