Two of the most distinguished contributors to Ligabue Magazine meet for the first time on the stage of Teatro Goldoni in Venice—interviewed by author and television host Sveva Sagramola—for a talk on humankind, its origins, and the future that lies ahead.
Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall’s journey, which began over sixty years ago in Tanzania, is marked by an extraordinary dedication to the study of chimpanzees, pursued with unwavering passion and commitment. Today, the Jane Goodall Institute shares her vision globally, promoting the protection of people, animals, and the environment. Since 2005, Ligabue has supported her mission, publishing her work in Ligabue Magazine for the first time.
Donald Johanson
Donald Johanson is considered one of the leading paleoanthropologists of our time, renowned for groundbreaking discoveries in the study of human evolution, including the famous skeleton of Lucy. Discovered in Ethiopia in the 1970s, Lucy marked a pivotal moment in understanding human origins. Dating back 3.2 million years, she displays a unique combination of ape-like and human characteristics—such as a small brain and an upright posture—helping to redefine scientific debate on evolution and becoming a reference point for subsequent research.
