 You know, I've watched animals all my life long before I watched chimpanzees and I think that having empathy with the creature you're watching is an immensely powerful tool. It gives you a platform from which you can start asking questions. I think when you do field work, you basically not only experience the science and the animal that you study, but you also get to experience yourself. If you don't understand yourself, you can't understand the animal that you're studying and how to study that particular species.
