Dale Peterson

Dale Peterson has written about anthropology, art, computers, conservation, evolution, literature, psychiatry, travel, and animals. He is also Jane Goodall's official biographer, and that biography, "Jane Goodall: The Woman Who Redefined Man," is among the best known of his twenty books. Dale's latest work, "The Ghosts of Gombe," adds an entirely new chapter to the Goodall story, one that focuses on two pivotal years at her research site, 1968 and 1969, that were magically marked by a startling new perspective on the chimpanzees—and tragically ended by the shocking death of one young chimpanzee researcher.
