The famous Goodall photograph with baby Flint that challenged the scientific norms of its time

Hugo van Lawick, the Dutch photographer and her husband, traveled to Gombe in 1962 and took thousands of portraits of Goodall. It was in 1964 that he took the photograph that became one of Goodall's most famous, showing her with a baby chimpanzee named Flint. In the image, Goodall is seen crouching and extending her right arm toward Flint, the first chimpanzee born in Gombe after her; he, in turn, extends his left arm toward her. "And then another wait for the prints to be sent to Kigoma," she recalled. "At the time I saw it, I didn't realize it would become iconic, but it reminded me of Michelangelo's painting of God approaching man."
