Jane Goodall with Pan
 |
Dr Jane Goodall DBE signing the scapula of a chimpanzee skeleton from The Tiegs Museum collection. This took place at the conclusion of her public lecture at Melbourne University on Friday 21st July 2006. The chimpanzee (scientific name: Pan troglodytes) is of special interest as our closest relative among the apes and monkeys (Order: Primates). This specimen is a plastic replica of the skeleton of a 12 year old male (not currently on display). |
