Dame Jane Morris GoodallDBE(/ˈɡʊdɔːl/;bornValerie Jane Morris-Goodall;3 April 1934),formerlyBaroness Jane van Lawick-Goodall,is an Englishzoologist,primatologistandanthropologist.She is considered the world's foremost expert onchimpanzees,after 60 years' studying the social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees. Goodall first went toGombe Stream National Parkin Tanzania to observe its chimpanzees in 1960.

She is the founder of theJane Goodall Instituteand theRoots & Shootsprogramme, and she has worked extensively on conservation and animal welfare issues. As of 2022, she is on the board of theNonhuman Rights Project.In April 2002, she was named aUnited Nations Messenger of Peace.Goodall is an honorary member of theWorld Future Council.

Early life

Valerie Jane Morris-Goodall was born in April 1934 inHampstead,London,to businessmanMortimer Herbert Morris-Goodall(1907–2001) and Margaret Myfanwe Joseph (1906–2000),a novelist fromMilford Haven,Pembrokeshire,who wrote under the name Vanne Morris-Goodall.

The family later moved toBournemouth,and Goodall attendedUplands School,an independent school in nearbyPoole.

As a child, Goodall's father gave her a stuffed toy chimpanzee named Jubilee as an alternative to ateddy bear.Goodall has said her fondness for it sparked her early love of animals, commenting, "My mother's friends were horrified by this toy, thinking it would frighten me and give me nightmares." Jubilee still sits on Goodall's dresser in London.

Africa

Goodall had always been drawn to animals and Africa, which brought her to the farm of a friend in theKenyahighlands in 1957.From there, she obtained work as a secretary, and acting on her friend's advice, she telephonedLouis Leakey,the Kenyan archaeologist and palaeontologist, with no other thought than to make an appointment to discuss animals. Leakey, believing that the study of existing great apes could provide indications of the behaviour of earlyhominids,was looking for a chimpanzee researcher, though he kept the idea to himself. Instead, he proposed that Goodall work for him as a secretary. After obtaining approval from his co-researcher and wife, BritishpaleoanthropologistMary Leakey,Louis sent Goodall toOlduvai GorgeinTanganyika(modernTanzania), where he laid out his plans.

In 1958, Leakey sent Goodall to London to study primate behaviour withOsman Hilland primate anatomy withJohn Napier.Leakey raised funds, and on 14 July 1960, Goodall went toGombe Stream National Park,becoming the first of what would come to be calledThe Trimates.She was accompanied by her mother, whose presence was necessary to satisfy the requirements of David Anstey, chief warden, who was concerned for their safety.Goodall credits her mother with encouraging her to pursue a career inprimatology,a male-dominated field at the time. Goodall has stated that women were not accepted in the field when she started her research in the late 1950s.As of 2019,the field ofprimatologyis made up almost evenly of men and women, in part thanks to the trailblazing of Goodall and her encouragement of young women to join the field.

Leakey arranged funding, and in 1962 he sent Goodall, who had no degree, to theUniversity of Cambridge.She was the eighth person to be allowed to study for a PhD at Cambridge without first having obtained a bachelor's degree.She went toNewnham College, Cambridge,where she received her Bachelor of Arts innatural sciencesby 1964, which is when she went up to the newDarwin College, Cambridge,for a Doctor of Philosophy inethology.Her thesis was completed in 1966 under the supervision ofRobert Hindeon theBehaviour of free-living chimpanzees,detailing her first five years of study at the Gombe Reserve.

On 19 June 2006, theOpen University of Tanzaniaawarded her an honoraryDoctor of Sciencedegree.

Work

Research at Gombe Stream National Park

Goodall in conversation withSilver Donald Cameron,discussing her work

Goodall studiedchimpanzeesocial and family life beginning with theKasakela chimpanzee communityinGombe Stream National Park,Tanzania,in 1960.She found that "it isn't only human beings who have personality, who are capable of rational thought [and] emotions like joy and sorrow."She also observed behaviours such as hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and even tickling, what we consider "human" actions.Goodall insists that these gestures are evidence of "the close, supportive, affectionate bonds that develop between family members and other individuals within a community, which can persist throughout a life span of more than 50 years."

Goodall's research at Gombe Stream challenged two long-standing beliefs of the day: that only humans could construct and use tools, and that chimpanzees were vegetarians.While observing one chimpanzee feeding at a termite mound, she watched him repeatedly place stalks of grass into termite holes, then remove them from the hole covered with clinging termites, effectively "fishing" for termites.The chimpanzees would also take twigs from trees and strip off the leaves to make the twig more effective, a form of object modification that is the rudimentary beginnings of toolmaking.Humans had long distinguished themselves from the rest of the animal kingdom as "Man the Toolmaker". In response to Goodall's revolutionary findings,Louis Leakeywrote, "We must now redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as human!"

In contrast to the peaceful and affectionate behaviours she observed, Goodall also found an aggressive side of chimpanzee nature at Gombe Stream. She discovered that chimpanzees will systematically hunt and eat smaller primates such ascolobusmonkeys.Goodall watched a hunting group isolate a colobus monkey high in a tree and block all possible exits; then one chimpanzee climbed up and captured and killed the colobus.The others then each took parts of the carcass, sharing with other members of the troop in response to begging behaviours.The chimpanzees at Gombe kill and eat as much as one-third of the colobus population in the park each year.This alone was a major scientific find that challenged previous conceptions of chimpanzee diet and behaviour.

Goodall also observed the tendency for aggression and violence within chimpanzee troops. Goodall observed dominant females deliberately killing the young of other females in the troop to maintain their dominance,sometimes going as far ascannibalism.She says of this revelation, "During the first ten years of the study I had believed [...] that the Gombe chimpanzees were, for the most part, rather nicer than human beings. [...] Then suddenly we found that chimpanzees could be brutal—that they, like us, had a darker side to their nature."She described the 1974–1978Gombe Chimpanzee Warin her 1990 memoir,Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe.Her findings revolutionised contemporary knowledge of chimpanzee behaviour and were further evidence of the social similarities between humans and chimpanzees.

Goodall set herself apart from convention by naming the animals in her studies of primates instead of assigning each a number. Numbering was a nearly universal practice at the time and was thought to be important in the removal of oneself from the potential for emotional attachment to the subject being studied. Setting herself apart from other researchers also led her to develop a close bond with the chimpanzees and to become the only human ever accepted into chimpanzee society. She was the lowest-ranking member of a troop for a period of 22 months. Among those whom Goodall named during her years in Gombe were:

• David Greybeard,a grey-chinned male who first warmed up to Goodall;
• Goliath,a friend of David Greybeard, originally thealpha malenamed for his bold nature;
• Mike,who through his cunning and improvisation displaced Goliath as the alpha male;
• Humphrey,a big, strong, bullysome male;
• Gigi, a large,sterilefemale who delighted in being the "aunt" of any young chimps or humans;
• Mr. McGregor, a belligerent older male;
• Flo,a motherly, high-ranking female with a bulbous nose and ragged ears, and her children;Figan,Faben,Freud,Fifi,andFlint;
• Frodo,Fifi's second-oldest child, an aggressive male who would frequently attack Jane and ultimately forced her to leave the troop when he became alpha male.

Jane Goodall Institute

Goodall in 2009 with Hungarian Roots & Shoots group members

In 1977, Goodall established theJane Goodall Institute(JGI), which supports theGomberesearch, and she is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. With nineteen offices around the world, the JGI is widely recognised for community-centredconservation and developmentprograms in Africa. Its global youth program,Roots & Shoots,began in 1991 when a group of 16 local teenagers met with Goodall on her back porch in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. They were eager to discuss a range of problems they knew about from first-hand experience that caused them deep concern. The organisation has over 10,000 groups in over 100 countries as of 2010.

In 1992, Goodall founded theTchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Centrein theRepublic of Congoto care for chimpanzees orphaned due to bush-meat trade. The rehabilitation houses over a hundred chimps over its three islands.

In 1994, Goodall founded the Lake Tanganyika Catchment Reforestation and Education (TACARE or "Take Care" ) pilot project to protect chimpanzees' habitat from deforestation by reforesting hills aroundGombewhile simultaneously educating neighbouring communities on sustainability and agriculture training. The TACARE project also supports young girls by offering them access to reproductive health education and through scholarships to finance their college tuition.

Goodall in 2009 with Lou Perrotti, who contributed to her bookHope for Animals and Their World

Owing to an overflow of handwritten notes, photographs, and data piling up at Jane's home inDar es Salaamin the mid-1990s, the Jane Goodall Institute's Center for Primate Studies was created at theUniversity of Minnesotato house and organise this data. As of 2011all of the original Jane Goodall archives reside there and have been digitised, analysed, and placed in an online database.On 17 March 2011,Duke Universityspokesman Karl Bates announced that the archives will move to Duke, withAnne E. Pusey,Duke's chairman ofevolutionary anthropology,overseeing the collection. Pusey, who managed the archives in Minnesota and worked with Goodall in Tanzania, had worked at Duke for a year.

In 2018 and 2020, Goodall partnered with friend and CEOMichael Cammarataon two natural product lines fromSchmidt's NaturalsandNeptune Wellness Solutions.Five percent of every sale benefited the Jane Goodall Institute.

As of 2004, Goodall devotes virtually all of her time to advocacy on behalf of chimpanzees and the environment, travelling nearly 300 days a year.Goodall is also on the advisory council for the world's largest chimpanzee sanctuary outside of Africa,Save the Chimpsin Fort Pierce, Florida.

Jane Goodall is an advisory board member forThe Society for the Protection of Underground Networks(SPUN).

Activism

Goodall with Allyson Reed ofSkulls Unlimited International,at theAssociation of Zoos and Aquariumsannual conference in September 2009

Goodall credits the 1986Understanding Chimpanzeesconference, hosted by theChicago Academy of Sciences,with shifting her focus from observation of chimpanzees to a broader and more intense concern with animal-human conservation.She is the former president ofAdvocates for Animals,an organisation based inEdinburgh,Scotland,that campaigns against the use of animals in medical research, zoos, farming and sport.

She is avegetarianand advocates the diet for ethical, environmental, and health reasons. InThe Inner World of Farm Animals(2009), Goodall writes that farm animals are "far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent?"Goodall has also said: "Thousands of people who say they 'love' animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated so with little respect and kindness just to make more meat."In 2021, Goodall became aveganand authored a cookbook titledEat Meat Less.

Goodall is an outspoken environmental advocate, speaking on the effects of climate change on endangered species such as chimpanzees. Goodall, alongside her foundation, collaborated withNASAto use satellite imagery from the Landsat series to remedy the effects of deforestation on chimpanzees and local communities in Western Africa by offering the villagers information on how to reduce activity and preserve their environment.To ensure the safe and ethical treatment of animals during ethological studies, Goodall, alongside ProfessorMark Bekoff,founded the organization Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in 2000.

In 2008, Goodall gave a lecture entitled "Reason for Hope" at the University of San Diego's Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace & Justice,and in the same year demanded theEuropean Unionend the use of medical research on animals and ensure more funding for alternative methods of medical research.She controversially describedEdinburgh Zoo's new primate enclosure as a "wonderful facility" where monkeys "are probably better off [than those] living in the wild in an area likeBudongo,where one in six gets caught in a wire snare, and countries likeCongo,where chimpanzees, monkeys and gorillas are shot for food commercially. "This was in conflict with Advocates for Animals' position on captive animals.In June that year, she resigned the presidency of the organisation which she had held since 1998, citing her busy schedule and explaining, "I just don't have time for them."Goodall is a patron of the population concern charityPopulation Mattersand as of 2017is an ambassador forDisneynature.

In 2010, Goodall, throughJGI,formed a coalition with a number of organizations such as theWildlife Conservation Society(WCS) and theHumane Society of the United States(HSUS) and petitioned to list all chimpanzees, including those that are captive, asendangered.In 2015, the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service(USFWS) announced that they would accept this rule and that all chimpanzees would be classified as endangered.In 2011, she became a patron of the Australian animal protection groupVoiceless."I have for decades been concerned about factory farming, in part because of the tremendous harm inflicted on the environment, but also because of the shocking ongoing cruelty perpetuated on millions of sentient beings."

In 2012, she took on the role of challenger for the Engage in Conservation Challenge withThe DO School,formerly known as the D&F Academy.She worked with a group of aspiring social entrepreneurs to create a workshop to engage young people in conserving biodiversity, and to tackle a perceived global lack of awareness of the issue.In 2014, Goodall wrote toAir Franceexecutives, criticizing the airline's continued transport of monkeys to laboratories. Goodall called the practice "cruel" and "traumatic" for the monkeys involved. The same year, Goodall also wrote to theNational Institutes of Health(NIH) to criticize maternal deprivation experiments on baby monkeys in NIH laboratories.

Prior to the2015 UK general election,she endorsed the parliamentary candidacy of theGreen Party'sCaroline Lucas.She is a critic offox huntingand signed a letter to Members of Parliament in 2015 opposing theConservativeprime ministerDavid Cameron's plan to amend theHunting Act 2004.

In August 2019, Goodall was honoured for her contributions to science with a bronze sculpture inMidtown Manhattanalongside nine other women, part of theStatues for Equalityproject.In 2020 she advocated forecocide(mass damage or destruction of nature) to be made an international crime, stating “The concept of Ecocide is long overdue. It could lead to an important change in the way people perceive – and respond to – the current environmental crisis.”That same year, Goodall vowed to plant 5 million trees, part of the 1 trillion tree initiative founded by theWorld Economic Forum.In 2021, Goodall called on the EU Commission to abolish caging of farm animals.

In 2021, Goodall joined theRewriting Extinctioncampaign to fight the climate and biodiversity crisis through comics. She is listed as a contributor to the bookThe Most Important Comic Book on Earth: Stories to Save the Worldwhich was released on 28 October 2021 byDK.

Personal life

Goodall has married twice. On 28 March 1964, she married a Dutch nobleman, wildlife photographer BaronHugo van Lawick,atChelsea Old Church,London, and became known during their marriage as Baroness Jane van Lawick-Goodall.The couple had a son, Hugo Eric Louis (born 1967); they divorced in 1974. The following year, she married Derek Bryceson, a member ofTanzania's parliament and the director of that country'snational parks.Bryceson died of cancer in October 1980.Owing to his position in the Tanzanian government as head of the country's national park system, Bryceson could protect Goodall's research project and implement an embargo on tourism at Gombe.

Goodall has stated that dogs are her favourite animal.

Goodall hasprosopagnosia,which makes it difficult to recognize familiar faces.

Religion and spirituality

Goodall was raised in a Christiancongregationalistfamily. As a young woman, she took night classes inTheosophy.Her family were occasional churchgoers, but Goodall began attending more regularly as a teenager when the church appointed a new minister, Trevor Davies. "He was highly intelligent and his sermons were powerful and thought-provoking... I could have listened to his voice for hours... I fell madly in love with him... Suddenly, no one had to encourage me to go to church. Indeed, there were never enough services for my liking." Of her later discovery of the atheism and agnosticism of many of her scientific colleagues, Goodall wrote that "[f]ortunately, by the time I got to Cambridge I was twenty-seven years old and my beliefs had already moulded so that I was not influenced by these opinions."

In her 1999 bookReason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey,Goodall describes the implications of amystical experienceshe had atNotre Dame Cathedralin 1977: "Since I cannot believe that this was the result of chance, I have to admit anti-chance. And so I must believe in a guiding power in the universe – in other words, I must believe in God."When asked if she believes in God, Goodall said in September 2010: "I don't have any idea of who or what God is. But I do believe in some great spiritual power. I feel it particularly when I'm out in nature. It's just something that's bigger and stronger than what I am or what anybody is. I feel it. And it's enough for me."When asked in the same year if she still considers herself a Christian, Goodall toldthe Guardian"I suppose so; I was raised as a Christian." and stated that she saw no contradiction between evolution and belief in God.

In her foreword to the 2017 bookThe Intelligence of the CosmosbyErvin Laszlo,a philosopher of science who advocatesquantum consciousnesstheory, Goodall wrote: "we must accept that there is an Intelligence driving the process [ofevolution], that the Universe and life on Earth are inspired and in-formed by an unknown and unknowable Creator, a Supreme Being, a Great Spiritual Power. "

Criticism

Goodall atTEDGlobal2007

Names instead of numbers

Goodall used unconventional practices in her study; for example, naming individuals instead of numbering them. At the time, numbering was used to prevent emotional attachment and loss ofobjectivity.

Goodall wrote in 1993: "When, in the early 1960s, I brazenly used such words as 'childhood', 'adolescence', 'motivation', 'excitement', and 'mood' I was much criticised. Even worse was my crime of suggesting that chimpanzees had 'personalities'. I was ascribing human characteristics to nonhuman animals and was thus guilty of that worst of ethological sins—anthropomorphism."

Feeding stations

Many standard methods aim to avoid interference by observers, and in particular some believe that the use of feeding stations to attract Gombe chimpanzees has altered normal foraging and feeding patterns andsocial relationships.This argument is the focus of a book published by Margaret Power in 1991.It has been suggested that higher levels of aggression and conflict with other chimpanzee groups in the area were due to the feeding, which could have created the "wars" between chimpanzee social groups described by Goodall, aspects of which she did not witness in the years before artificial feeding began at Gombe. Thus, some regard Goodall's observations as distortions of normal chimpanzee behaviour.

Goodall herself acknowledged that feeding contributed to aggression within and between groups, but maintained that the effect was limited to alteration of the intensity and not the nature of chimpanzee conflict, and further suggested that feeding was necessary for the study to be effective at all.Craig Stanfordof the Jane Goodall Research Institute at theUniversity of Southern Californiastates that researchers conducting studies with no artificial provisioning have a difficult time viewing any social behaviour of chimpanzees, especially those related to inter-group conflict.

Some recent studies, such as those byCrickette Sanzin theGoualougo Triangle(Congo) and Christophe Boesch in theTaï National Park(Ivory Coast), have not shown the aggression observed in the Gombe studies.However, other primatologists disagree that the studies are flawed; for example, Jim Moore provides a critique of Margaret Powers' assertionsand some studies of other chimpanzee groups have shown aggression similar to that in Gombe even in the absence of feeding.

Plagiarism andSeeds of Hope

On 22 March 2013,Hachette Book Groupannounced that Goodall's and co-author Gail Hudson's new book,Seeds of Hope,would not be released on 2 April as planned due to the discovery of plagiarised portions.A reviewer forThe Washington Postfound unattributed sections that were copied from websites about organic tea and tobacco and an "amateurish astrology site", as well as from Wikipedia.Goodall apologised and stated, "It is important to me that the proper sources are credited, and I will be working diligently with my team to address all areas of concern. My goal is to ensure that when this book is released it is not only up to the highest of standards, but also that the focus be on the crucial messages it conveys."The book was released on 1 April 2014, after review and the addition of 57 pages of endnotes.

Possibility of undiscovered species

Goodall is known to support the possibility that undiscovered species of primates may still exist today, includingcryptidssuch asSasquatch,Yerenand other types ofBigfoot.She has talked about this possibility in various interviews and debates.In 2012, when theHuffington Postasked her about it, Goodall replied: "I'm fascinated and would actually love them to exist," adding, "Of course, it's strange that there has never been a single authentic hide or hair of the Bigfoot, but I've read all the accounts."

In popular culture

Gary Larson cartoon incident

One ofGary Larson'sFar Sidecartoons shows two chimpanzees grooming. One finds a blonde human hair on the other and inquires, "Conducting a little more 'research' with that Jane Goodall tramp?"Goodall herself was in Africa at the time, and the Jane Goodall Institute thought this was in bad taste and had its lawyers draft a letter to Larson and his distribution syndicate in which they described the cartoon as an "atrocity". They were stymied by Goodall herself: when she returned and saw the cartoon, she stated that she found the cartoon amusing.

Since then, all profits from sales of a shirt featuring this cartoon have gone to the Jane Goodall Institute. Goodall wrote a preface toThe Far Side Gallery 5,detailing her version of the controversy, and the institute's letter was included next to the cartoon in the completeFar Sidecollection.She praised Larson's creative ideas, which often compare and contrast the behaviour of humans and animals. In 1988, when Larson visited Goodall's research facility in Tanzania,he was attacked by a chimpanzee named Frodo.

Lego

On 3 March 2022, in celebration ofWomen's History MonthandInternational Women's Day,The Lego Groupissued set number 40530,A Jane Goodall Tribute,depicting a Jane Goodallminifigureand three chimpanzees in an African forest scene.

Radio Four Today programme

On 31 December 2021, Goodall was the guest editor of theBBC Radio FourTodayprogramme.She choseFrancis Collinsto be presenter ofThought for the Day.
