![Louis [Leakey] was anxious to initiate a scientific study of these chimpanzees. It would be difficult, he emphasized, for nothing was known; there were no guidelines for such a field study; and the habitat was remote and rugged. Dangerous wild animals would be living there, and chimpanzees themselves were considered at least four times stronger than humans. I remember wondering what kind of scientist he would find for such a herculean task.](/assets/img/quote-photos/louis-leakey-was-anxious-to-initiate-a-scientific-study-of-these-chimpanzees-i.jpg)
