2Jane Goodall
- BY Tuba Kaya Sofia Noguera
3Early life
- Jane was born in London, England in 1934.
-
- When she was a child she received a life like
toy of a chimpanzee from her father.
She then became extremely interested in animals
and Africa. Fortunately for her, she had a
friend in Kenya whose farm she visited and began
working as a secretary in Kenya
4Early life cont.
- With her friends advice she called Louis Leaky,
a Kenyan Archeologist and Paleontologist. - Leaky sent Goodall to Tanzania and then went
sent her to London to study primate behavior. -
- Louis Leaky arranged a fund and sent Jane to
Cambridge University because she did not have a
degree. - There she obtained a Ph.D and got a degree in
ethnology. -
- She was then sent to study out in Tanzania in
right next to the Gombe river.
5Janes 45 years of study
- Jane studied the Kasakela chimpanzee community
in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania in 1960. - Her research brought up many controversies,
instead of putting numbers on the chimps she
studied, she gave them names such as Fifi or
David. -
- She observed the chimps and found out that they
had different personalities and had different
human behaviors. Such as hugs, kisses, pats on
the back, and even tickling. -
- While observing this one chimp, she watched him
stick a stalk of grass inside of a termite mound
removing a bunch of termites.
6Eastern Chimpanzee
Goodall is known for her research of the Kasakela
chimp community that consists of Eastern Chimps.
The Eastern Chimp is a subspecies of the common
chimpanzee. Otherwise known as Pan troglodytes
schweinfurthii, they can be found in Sudan,
Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and surroundings.
7Eastern Chimps
The Eastern Chimp is an endangered species
Being omnivorous, the chimps eat both
plants and animals
With longer arms, the chimps are able to walk on
all fours for long distances, however they spend
the majority of their time in trees (where they
also build nests to sleep in)
8- Jane went to Tanzania without training directing
her research and without predetermined questions.
Instead, she went to observe things that other
scientific studies may have overlooked
What she found changed the fields of ethnology
and science, by observing the chimps in their
natural habitat she was able to see how they
interacted with each other and other species
9- One of the most startling and disturbing
observations Jane made was the tendency for
aggression and violence within the own chimp
groups .
She observed dominant females deliberately
killing the children of other females in the
troop in order to maintain their dominance,
sometimes going as far as cannibalism. The males
in the group would also eat other monkeys that
were smaller than them for the same reason.
10- One of her greatest achievements was debunking
the two long-standing theories about chimps
that only humans could construct and use tools
and that chimpanzees were vegetarian.

spare time
13Controversy surrounding Goodall
- At the time of her studies numbering was used to
prevent emotional attachment and loss of
objectivity, however she named the chimps she
studied. - Also when she claimed to see individuality and
emotion in the chimps, she was accused of "that
worst of ethological sins", anthropomorphism
(giving human characteristics to non-humans)
