Like you, I've read so many nice things about Jane Goodall's amazing life and legacy today, but this video of the realease of the chimp called Wounda is beyond words ♥️
If only we could find the will to stop destroying the extraordinary natural world around us...

Population histories of the Indigenous Adivasi and Sinhalese from Sri Lanka using whole genomes
Sri Lanka is home to diverse ethnic groups with different genetic histories. Urban
Aragon et al. find that despite close genetic affinities, Indigenous Adivasi have
more hunter-gatherer ancestry and l...
