You may know Dr. Jane for her work with chimpanzees – but she said that dogs were her favourite animal!

Chimpanzees were too similar to humans, she said, to be her favourite animal. But dogs showed her how animals possess intelligence, personalities, and emotions.

What was the most magical part for Dr. Jane? "How like us they were," she said.

She saw chimpanzees "kissing, embracing, holding hands, patting one another, begging for food" – gestures that were generally considered to be human.

Greta Braun followed up right?

She brought up the fact that vance’s mentally enfeebled boss has been promising inferior maga chimpanzees TrumpCare for a decade now.

Surly that nazi reporter did this right?

Surly she isn’t just a whore for her maga bosses.

Surly she’s a journalist right?

Flying over Gombe once, Dr. Jane saw how bare the land was.

She saw people had been "cutting down trees to survive" and knew that was not sustainable.

"If we can't help them find ways of making a living without destroying their environment, we can't save chimpanzees, forests, or anything else."

Jane Goodall took on the “Messenger of Hope” mantle mid-life. She knew people can only make change for the better if they first have hope. #RestInPeace 🕊️
Photograph of Jane Goodall standing in front of flowers and wearing a turtleneck and microphone. Text above and below her photo says “In Memory of Jane Goodall, Messenger of Hope, 1934-2025” against a blue background. The world lost a mighty inspiration this past week as Dr. Jane Goodall, revered scientist and humanitarian, passed from this life. Her love of the natural world and all its creatures shaped generations of us. She taught us that we are not above nature, that our daily decisions matter, and that we must protect the planet. Most importantly, she required us to keep hope alive, and then to use that hope to become better stewards of the planet. I have had the joy of knowing Jane Goodall as mentor and friend since I studied chimpanzees with her at Gombe Stream Research Centre when I was 19 (54 years ago), so hearing of her passing struck hard. My daughter phoned with the news as my husband and I were driving to southern California to hear her speak. We had also hoped to have some time with her at what we call a “Friends of Jane” event. This special gathering of 20 or so of us for socializing and a meal was always followed by “The Meeting.” Jane would convene us in a circle of chairs, asking us each to report on what we’d done to better the world since our last get-together. Jane would then regale us with her own report, which, of course, was always extremely humbling. But we knew each of our reports mattered enormously to her, because Jane wanted to know we were actively working to amplify her efforts to protect the natural world and the poor, and to stand up to the bullies. In fact, that is precisely why she travelled 300 days a year, even into her 90s. She needed every person in that room, and in every room on the planet, to be actively working to protect what is precious. Jane accomplished so much in so many realms, but I believe the world was thirstiest for her accomplishments as a “Messenger of Hope.” She first took on the mantle in mid-life and would gradually come to believe it was a God-given assignment.

It is with deep emotion and sadness that we learned of her passing. She seemed to defy time and age. She has left us at the age of 91, and we can only celebrate 91 years of a magnificent life, devoted to opening our eyes and hearts to what other sentient beings are: capable of emotions, friendship, caring, comforting each other, expressing grief, making tools, and so many other wonders. A tireless spokesperson for other species, our co-citizens in this world, Jane commanded respect through her unique combination of gentleness and an unwavering firmness and determination to defend great apes, especially chimpanzees, whom she had observed with such patience, closeness, and insight. She was a great lady of rare elegance who commanded respect and admiration. I had the good fortune to meet her on several occasions and to be the happy beneficiary of her friendship. She will remain forever in my heart as a powerful source of inspiration. https://loom.ly/humzzPs Via Matthieu Ricard See the text in the photo

Grieving is universal – it's not unique to humans. In fact, Dr. Jane was one of the first to document mourning in wild chimpanzees.

Her observations transformed how the world understood animals – she showed they also experience connection, love, and loss.

Farewell to Jane Goodall — Population Activist Biodiversity , Environmental movement , Population growth October 7, 2025 Jane Goodall was a champion for chimpanzees, conservation, and population activism. The latter aspect of her work has been conspicuously neglected in recent tributes to this scientific giant. by Leon Kolankiewicz Pioneering English primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025) passed away last week at the age of 91. In the days since, numerous, well-deserved and glowing tributes have paid homage to her inspirational achievements and legacy. Starting in 1960, this animal lover, with no college degree but imbued with a sense of adventure, curiosity and courage — the essential ingredients of authentic scientific endeavor — began conducting field research on wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park in the East African country of Tanzania. For much of the time in those early years, she was a twenty-something woman alone in the wild. Mentored by another scientific pioneer, paleoanthropologist Louis Leakey (1903-1972), Goodall’s findings challenged conventional wisdom about cognitive abilities long thought to be uniquely human. She discovered that wild chimps make and use tools, hunt cooperatively, and possess an array of complex social structures and emotions once regarded as ours alone. She shared her findings with the public in her best-selling 1971 book In the Shadow of Man and many other writings. The National Geographic Society supported and featured her work. This iconic photo by Hugo Van Lawick of Jane Goodall and the infant chimpanzee Flint first appeared in National Geographic in the 1960s. Although it is no longer deemed appropriate to have physical contact with chimps in the wild, this image has long symbolized “biophilia” — our innate yearning to interact with other life forms. In her later years, Goodall founded the Jane Goodall Institute and became a respected advocate for wildlife conservation. In this role, she spoke out forc…

TIL Jane Goodall named the first chimp she met David Greybeard 🥺
A picture of Jane Goodall at camp with David Greybeard the chimpanzee. "When Jane Goodall first witnessed Gombe chimpanzee David Greybeard fishing for termites by manipulating blades of grass in 1960, the line between humans and other animals suddenly became blurry. Tool use was no longer uniquely human, leading Dr. Louis Leakey, Jane’s mentor, to famously say, 'Now we must redefine tool, redefine man, or accept chimpanzees as human.'"

TGT on Monday celebrates the life of Jane Goodall who passed away last week. Discuss breaking new ground in male dominated fields, or anthropology and primatology. What does it really mean to be human, are we simply a species and nothing more?
bit.ly/TutorGroupThink
Monday 6th October Jane Goodall was born in London in 1934. In her 20s she travelled to Africa to study wild Chimpanzees under the anthropologist Louis Leakey and his wife. Goodall studied the wild Chimpanzees in the Gombe Reserve in Tanzania for 5 years. Controversially she gave them names instead of numbers. She observed behaviours that had never been seen before in any wild animals. She observed chimps strip leaves off twigs then insert it into a termite mound to “fish” for termites. This simple act shattered the long-held belief that tool-making was a uniquely human trait. Leakey was so impressed with Goodall’s work that he arranged funding for her to attend Cambridge University and complete a PhD on her findings. She was only the 8th person ever to complete a PhD at Cambridge having not studied completed an undergraduate degree. She returned to Gombe to study the chimp families many times over the following decades; documenting their familial relationships, hunting behaviors (including killing other monkeys in packs) and their social and emotional lives. She wrote more than 30 books, half of which were for children. In 1977 she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to protect chimpanzees and promote conservation. She also launched the Roots & Shoots youth program, inspiring new generations around the world to care for nature. Later in her life she travelled the world speaking on environmental issues and was on a speaking tour of the US when she died last week at the age of 91. What do you think of Goodall naming the Chimps, should scientific research be so personal or should she have been more objective? What do you think the differences are between humans and primates? Would you like to study animals? Monday 6th October Before Jane Goodall’s ground-breaking observation of chimpanzees in Tanzania using sticks stripped of leaves to “fish” for termites it was assumed that humans were the only animals to make and use tools. Goodall studied chimpanzees for decades changing our understanding of primates and what it means to be human. Watch: Goodall explain how Chimps learn Jane Goodall died last week aged 91. What do you think the differences are between humans and primates?

In 1960 a young Jane Goodall arrived in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park to study wild chimpanzees. She had no formal degree in science, just a deep passion for animals and observation. Each night she transcribed her field notes by lamplight, recording not only behaviors but also personalities.
