If Jane Goodall is to chimpanzees, Birutė Galdikas, who worked for a long time in Borneo is to what animal?
"mindedness, selfhood, individuality, and agency: The study of great apes in their own environment and in captivity has changed attitudes to anthropomorphism. In the 1960s the three so-called ""Leakey's Angels"", Jane Goodall studying chimpanzees, Dian Fossey studying gorillas and Biruté Galdikas studying orangutans, were all accused of ""that worst of ethological sins – anthropomorphism"". The charge was brought about by their descriptions of the great apes in the field; it is now more widely accepted that empathy has an important part to play in research.

"In Western popular culture, chimpanzees have been commonly stereotyped as childlike companions, sidekicks or clowns. They are especially suited for the latter role on account of their prominent facial features, long limbs and fast movements, which humans often find amusing. Accordingly, entertainment acts featuring chimpanzees dressed up as humans have been traditional staples of circuses and stage shows. Westerners have also been disturbed by the chimps' resemblance to humans as well as their ""frank sexuality"".

The research of Goodall has also drastically changed ethological thinking and how behavioral studies are conducted. Where once talk of animal emotion was dismissed as anthropomorphism, her observations of animals in their natural habitat show that societies, behavior and relationships between animals are quite complex.
