Drawing
on his recent book, The Ghosts of Gombe, Dale Peterson will delve into the full
story of day-to-day life at Gombe during the months preceding Ruth’s death.
These months were marked by stress, excitement, social conflicts, cultural
alignments, and the friendships that developed among three of the researchers
and some of the chimpanzees.
