Jane Goodall went to Tanzania(????) and
studied chimps from the 1960s. She went with
three African helpers to live in the Gombe
National Park in East Africa. Her life was
spent following and recording the social life and
relationships of the chimps. Because of her
research, we now know that chimpanzees hunt for
meat, use tools, and have different
personalities. In 1965, she earned her
PhD(????) in ethology from Cambridge University.
