At the time, they thought it was too dangerous for a woman to live in the wilds of Africa alone. But Janes mother, Vanne, agreed to join her so that she would not be alone. Finally, the authorities gave Jane the clearance she needed in order to go to Africa and begin her study. In July of 1960, Jane and her mother arrived at Gom@
