Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall went to Tanzania(坦桑尼亚) and studied chimps from 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(博 士学位) in ethology (动物行为学) from Cambridge University.
