Jane Goodall is a renowned primatologist and anthropologist best known for her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park, Tanzania. Beginning in 1960, her long-term observational studies revolutionized the understanding of primate behavior, particularly in demonstrating tool use among chimpanzees—previously thought to be exclusive to humans. Goodall’s work challenged existing scientific assumptions about the human-animal divide and contributed to the fields of ethology and conservation. Beyond her research, she has been a leading advocate for wildlife preservation and environmental sustainability, founding the Jane Goodall Institute to promote conservation efforts worldwide. Her contributions have had a lasting impact on both primatology and global conservation initiatives.
