Yes, amazingly Chimps use tools making them the most intelligent primate on the planet ( before humans). They use specially selected sticks and stones to crack open forest nuts and seeds. They can nail a hammer into a wood without human help and they can play with things such as duplo LEGO.

What were some of Jane Goodalls findings?

She observed how chimps act like humans. Goodall was the first person to discover that chimps made and used tools in the wild when she observed one take a small twig, strip the leaves off it and use it to insert into a termite mound. When the chimp slowly pulled out the twig it was crawling with termites which he promptly ate for lunch.


What was the result of Goodall's strategy of observing the same group of chimps for years?

Jane made a shade so then the chimps knew Jane would stay back. From making this she learned about their behavior and what they eat. she also learned that chimpanzees make crude tools and how they GET their food.

What is Jane Goodall most proud of?

She was able to capture footage of chimps using tools to gather food - like sticking a small straw to draw out termites. Chimps discovered that if they put a small limb or straw into a termite mound, the termites would cling to the straw out of defense of their nest.


Who discovered that chimps have the same DNA to humans?

We share many things with chimpanzees. Jane Goodall has shown us this through her research at the Gombe National Reserve in Tanzania. We share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. They often use facial expressions that look uncannily human, although we will never know if they truly possess any emotions that correspond with the expression. Chimps often greet one another with a kiss, hug, or gentle hand touch. Babies stay with their mothers until they reach adulthood. Chimps are omnivorous. They can make and use tools. All of these behaviors were researched and observed by Dr. Jane Goodall for the last 38 years.
