     What Jane Goodall did was nothing to sneeze at; whenever plagiarism is committed, someone is always losing out on the deal. However, I think that because she is famous, people might take it a little more harshly with her. They might say that she is getting tired of doing her own things and just wants to make money, or something like that. And, to be fair, she and her publishers should probably know better than to use information that wasn't cited. Even so, I, personally don't think what she did was really that serious.
     Honestly, this woman has spent a lot of time trying to help the environment. I'm not what you'd call a tree hugger, but she has done some pretty amazing. And, as it said in the article, she only [improperly] researched the portions she needed for the botany sections, which were few and far between as far as I can interpret. She's done so much goo for this world; are we really going to rag on her for making a few silly mistakes? (And, I mean, come on... shouldn't a publisher/editor/ANYONE-WHO-WORKED-ON-THE-BOOK catch this sort of thing anyway?!)

  1. Apparently not. And I agree, this plagarism deal is really nothing but jumped up charges.
