The famed primatologist, ethologist and anthropologist spent the majority of her life in Tanzania, where her unorthodox approach (Goodall lacked collegiate training) granted her keen insights into chimpanzees, ultimately leading Goodall to conclude that similarities beyond genetics exist between ape and man–especially in terms of intelligence, emotions and relationships.

The name was initially meant to be a dismissal

The term “big bang” was coined live on BBC radio in 1949 by Fred Hoyle, a scientific opponent to what was then the fringe “primeval atom” hypothesis proposed by Catholic priest Georges Lemaitre. Hoyle’s equally alliterative Steady State theory had been accepted by everyone from Einstein to Hubble, but contradicting discoveries in the 1920′s had slowly started to dismantle the erstwhile pillar of astronomical thought. Hoyle dismissed “this big bang idea” since it suggested that the universe had a beginning, implying to Hoyle that there was some sort of a creator. But both his straw man and his assumption fundamentally misrepresents what the Big Bang actually proposes.
