Jane Goodall
Jane Goodall was born on April 3, 1934 in London, England, United Kingdom. Goodall attended Uplands private school until 1950. She was good at school, besides suffering from prosopagnosia, which makes it difficult to recognize faces. Jane was unable to afford college. She is known for studying the behavior of Tanzanian chimps. She is still alive today at age 82. When Goodall had an opportunity to visit a friend, she went to South Kinangop, Kenya. In Kenya, she met a famous anthropologist Louis Leakey. Leakey hired her to be his assistant/secretary for an archeological dig at Olduvai Gorge, a site full of prehistoric fossils of human ancestry. Jane was sent to an island in Lake Victoria to study the vervet monkeys. Louis wanted to learn more about …show more content…
She wanted to know more about evolution of humans through chimpanzees. It took a couple months before Goodall could gain trust of one single male that she ended up naming David Greybeard. Jane used a process called “banana club” to gain trust and to understand thoroughly of chimpanzees daily behavior. After two years, she became close with over half of the reserved 100 or more chimps. Goodall would imitate the behaviors to blend in. She learned that chimps have complex social network, a primitive “language” of twenty different sounds, and complete with ritualized behaviors. Jane took the first record of observing chimpanzees of eating meat and using and making tools; an act of characteristics of human beings. Later, Goodall added developing long-term familial bonds, embracing to comfort one another, and using stones as weapons to traits that humans also do. Male chimps don’t take roles in families, but they are on top of the group's social pyramid. The chimpanzees lower on the ranking follow under the top caste to avoid harm.
