Detailed explanation-1: -Subjects. Jane Goodall began her career studying chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park and is now a world-famous ethologist and conservationist. She was the first to document tool-use in chimpanzees, a novel finding at the time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jane’s method was to simply observe and imitate the animals, writing down copious notes in a field journal. One of her first discoveries was that chimpanzees are omnivorous, not vegetarian as had been supposed. On several occasions, she observed the chimps hunting and eating small mammals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Through her research, Jane Goodall was able to correct a number of misunderstandings about chimpanzees. She found, for example, that the animals are omnivorous, not vegetarian; that they are capable of making and using tools; and that they have complex and highly developed social behaviours.

Detailed explanation-4: -Goodall is best known for her landmark study of chimpanzee behavior in what is now Gombe, Tanzania. Her presentation will be titled “Gombe: 60 Years of Discovery, ” in light of 2020 being the 60 th anniversary of Goodall’s first trip to Gombe.
