🌏 Historian Aaron William Moore from the University of Edinburgh reflects on why he studies China, Japan, and Russia : not out of romantic fascination, but because they help answer big questions about culture, education, and modernity.

Dr. Jane made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, and also of humankind and the environments we all share.

She inspired curiosity, hope, and compassion in countless people, and paved the way for many others.
