Louis Leakey famously told Jane Goodall in 1960, "Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as humans" after she reported that the chimpanzees she was studying used tools to fish for termites.

She passed on 1 October 2025.

She has her own Jane Goodall Institute

She has interviewed with NPR over the years at Fresh Air and on Science Friday. And I daresay on the Beeb as well.

Aside from Chimps as tool users, she discovered them as inter species warriers and 'murderers' as well.

Her wonderfulness as an expert was due to her long term and detailed observations of animals in the wild.

Her favorite animal was not chimps or apes, it was the dog.

Television played a huge part in her claim to fame;
heaven only knows how many generations of young people
watched those television broadcasts of footage from Tanzania.

Jane Goodall's Famous Last Words appears on Netflix which promised to only show her last words after her death.
She has always been on mission and had the longest living research on primates. She mentions her least favorite people in this world includes the orange one.

Curing ignorance was one of her missions.
