On returning to Canada, she earned a Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo, analyzing and comparing the gaits of giraffe and other large mammals.
She has made a “significant contribution to giraffes worldwide in an unprecedented way.”
Anne Innis earned a master’s degree in genetics from the University of Toronto. She went alone to Africa in 1956-1957 to study the behavior of giraffe. At the time this university did not hire women in the biology department, so she worked in a program where students did the hiring.
Today she works in Independent Studies, an evolution of that Program.
She has also written 20 books and over 100 articles on these topics.
Her research produced over 60 refereed scientific papers on such subjects as homosexuality, behavior of mammals, sociobiology, feminism, sexism at universities, and the rights of animals.
