Chimpanzees’ discoveries have been studied recently. Chimpanzees are often miscalled monkeys. Those who are considered in the great ape family are the following: humans‚ chimpanzees‚ orangutans‚ and gorillas. Homo sapiens are the only species of human kind that seem to survived up until now.

During this time‚ Goodall made several crucial discoveries that have not only impacted the field of anthropology but has changed the way we look at ourselves as members of the environment shared with millions of other species. It was in October of 1960 that Goodall would make one of the most important scientific

To me‚ her most admirable qualities are her patience and persistence to understand animals‚ her research involving chimpanzees‚ and her contributions she has made to the world by establishing various institutions. Studying chimpanzees is not an easy task. Subsequently‚ Jane Goodall made it look as simple as

the cultural traits that chimpanzees share with human beings. A collective definition of culture is derived from the disciplines of anthropology‚ psychology‚ and biology; it states that culture is not acquired genetically. Culture is shared within a group of members‚ it is a practice that is unique to an individual group of people‚ and it is based on the perception that is common and shared amongst a specific group or community. To prove culture is present in chimpanzees‚ Boesch examines the behavioral

Chimpanzees are perhaps one of the closest living creatures to humans in the way they live and their basic genetic makeup. Chimpanzees are short but stocky prime mates with more knowledge then nearly every land animal on earth. They are so intelligent they realize the benefits of simple tools such as sticks and stones. Their intelligence even allows them to communicate bodily and verbally‚ although no real language is recognized in chimpanzees or any animal species with the exception of humans. Chimpanzees

From her optimism and connection she shared with the chimpanzees‚ Jane Goodall became the first person to have broken the barrier of what made humans different from animals after the discoveries she made during her time of research. Through to her optimism‚ Jane delved deeper into the primates’ daily lives and discovered that their way of living held many similarities to humans. Jane would try to understand what and why the chimpanzees did what they did‚ and as she was observing she saw that
