    Such a memorable story from The Prehistory. “Someone representing the Jane Goodall Institute” sent his publisher a letter condemning the cartoon.

    Shortly after receiving the letter, before Larson could reply, National Geographic reached out and wanted to reprint the article. Nat Geo was shocked to learn about all of this when Larson’s publisher declined: “That doesn’t sound like the Jane Goodall we know.” Nat Geo made their own phone calls, which is when everyone discovered that Jane loved the cartoon, and she herself was unaware the letter had gone out from her institute.
