William McGrew is Emeritus Professor of Evolutionary Primatology at the University of Cambridge. He has studied wild chimpanzees for 40 years, across Africa, from Senegal to Tanzania. He first met these fascinating creatures at Gombe, at the invitation of Jane Goodall, and was hooked for life. McGrew has worked less often with captive chimpanzees, but has served on the Executive of the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and on the Board of Directors of Chimp Haven, Inc., Louisiana. He has degrees in anthropology, psychology, and zoology, and all have proven to be useful in tackling chimpanzee behavior.
