An exhilarating quest into a remote African forest to examine chimpanzees and understand the roots of human behavior.
Dr. John Crocker, writer and physician, speaks about his eight months as a student studying families of wild chimpanzees with Jane Goodall in Gombe in Tanzania and how the experience influenced him as a family doctor and father.

Dr. John Crocker has been practicing family medicine in Seattle for thirty-five years. He was born and raised in Portland, Oregon and attended Stanford University where he met Jane Goodall. He received his MD from Case Western School of Medicine in Cleveland. Dr. Crocker is a popular speaker at high schools, colleges and universities, and other educational venues on primate behavior and has written for the Huffington Post about lessons learned from our closest living relatives. www.followingfifi.com
