Okay, please don't just send me to sites. I would appreciate them, just I want some stuff without having to go searching for too long. Even just tiny things like how long she stayed with the chimpanzees, how old she was when she went, when she was born, etc. Thank you. The person with the most helpfull hints and sources will get the best answer when I'm done.

Jane Goodall was born in London, England on April 3, 1934. Her father, Mortimer, was an engineer. Her mother, Vanne, is an author. Jane grew up in a large house on the ocean near Bourenmouth, England.
Jan. 24, 2005, she was awarded the French Legion of Honor for her work with primates and her extraordinary efforts to encourage positive action around the world as well as the conservation, development and education programs of the Jane Goodall Institute.
She has shown us this through her research at the Gombe National Reserve in Tanzania that we share many things with chimpanzees. 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 have been researched and observed by Dr. Jane Goodall for the last 38 years.

I used to be practically obsessed with chimps, so I know a lot about her,first of all when she first started studying chimps nobody knew anything about their behavior at all,she spent 40 years living and studying them.She even named them all, each individual family had its own letter of witch every chimp in the family started with.It took about 6 years before the chimps even stopped running away whenever she came.Before she came people thought they were strictly vegetarians, butshe found that they ate meat too,they eat antalope,the chimps throw rocks at their heads.

She was sent to Africa to study chimps by the famous zoologist Dr. Louis Leaky. He also sent Dian Fossey to study Gorillas as well as Dr Biruté Galdikas to study the Orangutan.
