Document Summary
Jane goodall"s study 1960-to present, longest study of wild animals. Arrived at gombe in 1960, brought her mother and a cook, but virtually alone. Chimps ran away from her for the first few months, watched them from a peak so they could get used to her presence, took months. She named the chimps and recognized them. Chimpanzees are nomadic, and noisy and excitable, calm and gentle. Began coming to her after one chimp took bananas from tent. Young chimps learn mothering skills from mother, young chimps are interested in new infants. Chimps make tools to get to termites and water. The group she was studying split up and the chimps from the larger group began attacking the ones from the smaller group. Two chimps went around killing newborn babies and eating them. Based on another book by griffin: black like me.
