I choose talk about Jane Goodall. She is an English primatologist and anthropologist, she is 84 years old. Considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees, she is best known for her over 55-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees since she first went to Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania in 1960. She is the founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and the
Roots & Shoots programme, and she has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues.
Without collegiate training directing her research, she observed things that strict scientific doctrines may have overlooked. Instead of numbering the chimpanzees she observed, she gave them names such as Fifi and others names, and observed them to have unique and individual personalities, an unconventional idea at the time. She found that, "it isn't
only human beings who have personality, who are capable of rational thought and emotions like joy and sorrow." She also observed behaviors such as hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and even tickling, what we consider "human" actions. She insists that these gestures are evidence of "the close, supportive, affectionate bonds that develop between family members and other individuals within a community, which can persist throughout a life span of more than 50 years."
Thanks to his work, she was able to publicize the life of chimpanzees in order to care for protect them.
