DISCUSSION

In the excerpt from her book, Jane Goodall shares with readers her

early experiences observing chimpanzees. To judge from her success, what characteristics are

necessary for someone who wishes to study animals in their

natural habitat?

Discussion Describe Goodall’s attitude

toward the animals she observed?

Discussion

According to Goodall, “casual observers” had seen chimpanzees using objects as

tools. What is the significance of her finding that chimpanzees are able to

modify the tools they use?

Discussion

Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees was the first of it’s kind. What effect do you think her studies may have

had on future studies of animal behavior.

Where is she now?• Jane Goodall Institute,

founded 1977• Lives in Bournemouth,

England, when not traveling for speaking engagements.
