I think Jane Goodall's work with chimpanzees has made many important contributions to science. Before her discoveries, people believed many incorrect things about these animals. One of the most important contributions to science is how people used to believe that they were not an intelligent species. However, after her observations, she discovered that they use tools and express their emotions.

First, chimpanzees are omnivorous animals, and their diet consists of meat, plants, and insects, specifically termites. But termites live in narrow dirt mounds, and she discovered that chimpanzees use tools to get this delicious treat. This is a complex behavior for an animal. Before her discoveries, the only known tool-using animal was humans. In Chapter 14, page 115, the text says the following regarding this behavior: “Goodall observed a chimp using blades of grass into a termite hole. The termites crawled onto the grass. Then, the chimp took the grass out of the hole and ate all the termites.”

Second, without her observations and discoveries, people would not know that these animals are very similar to humans. Like us, they express their emotions with facial and body gestures. They can be happy, angry, sad, or mad. The text on page 115 states the following: “Goodall saw them attack and eat small monkeys, not out of hunger, but because they didn't want them around.” This observation supports the fact that chimpanzees are very intelligent and have complex relationships.

In conclusion, Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees made important contributions to science and to our understanding of this primate species.

An example of her contributions to science is when Jane Goodall observed a chimp "sticking a blade of grass into a termite hole." According to her observation, the chimp tricked the termites out in order to eat them. This proves that chimpanzees were smart and could even be "clever." Another example from the text is that Jane Goodall learned that "chimps expressed many of the same feelings as people." This evidence supports my claim because now we know that "chimps can feel happy, sad, mad, and can also be mean."

In conclusion, we would not know that they could be clever or show emotions without Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees.

Jane Goodall’s work with Chimpanzees has made an important contribution to science because she discovered important characteristics in chimpanzees no one knew before.

Moreover, Jane Goodall made important contributions to science when she discovered that Chimps eat meat. In the text the author states “Before Goodall’s work, people thought chimpanzees were herbivores. She discovered that they eat meat, too.” The evidence shows that Jane Goodall made an important discovery she found that Chimps eat meat. This is important because people used to think they ate only plants.

Likewise, Jane Goodall also discovered that Chimps could make tools. An example of this is “Goodall observed chimps using blades of grass and sticks as tools!” The evidence shows that Jane Goodall discovered the intelligence chimps have because before they believed only humans made tools.

Ultimately, Jane Goodall made an important contribution to science. Jane Goodall discovered characteristics in chimpanzees such as that they are herbivores and very smart. These discoveries have helped us understand better chimpanzees.

For example, in page 114 it states that “she discovered that they [the chimpanzees] eat meat, too.” This was contrary to popular belief of the time. “Before Goodall’s work, people thought chimpanzees were herbivores"

Another example of her contributions is her observation of chimpanzees using tools. As stated on page 114 “Goodall discovered that chimps were quite intelligent. She observed them making and using tools!” This supports my belief that Jane Goodall made remarkable contributions to science because before “people thought humans were the only animals that [...] used tools.”

In conclusion, Jane Goodall’s work revolutionized people’s knowledge about chimpanzees and thanks to her findings we now know that chimpanzees are quite similar to humans.

First of all, Jane Gooodall discovered that chimpanzees used blades of grass and sticks as tools. In paragraph 7, it says, “Goodall observed a chimp sticking a blade of grass into a termite hole. The termites crawled onto the grass. Then, the chimp took the grass out of the hole and ate all the termites.”  This shows that chimps use things from nature as tools to feed themselves.

Also, Goodall learned that chimps express feelings as people do. The text states that,“ Goodall saw them attack and eat small monkeys, not out of hunger, but because they didn’t want them around.” This proves that chimps can feel mad and be mean if they are bothered.

In conclusion, Jane Goodall’s research was very important because it helped people learn about the behaviors and feelings of chimpanzees that were unknown to mankind.

One reason it’s important is because she discovered that chimps are intelligent animals. According to the text, “More importantly, Goodall discovered that chimps were quite intelligent. She observed them making and using tools! Before that, people thought humans were the only animals that made and used tools.” This shows that through her observations Jane Goodall discovered that chimps are smart animals.

Another example from the text, “She learned that chimps express many of the same feelings as people. They can feel happy, sad, and mad. Chimps can also be mean.” This supports Jane Goodall’s observation that chimps are smart animals because they have emotions and show them.

In conclusion, Jane Goodall’s important work and scientific discoveries have helped both scientists, people, and chimpanzees. She is known all over the world for her contributions to chimpanzees and science!

In the article, paragraph 4  states that Goodall spent 45 years studying chimpanzees in the wild and that her discoveries changed the way people think about primates. People had misconceptions about chimpanzees before Goodall studied them. People believed that chimpanzees were herbivores. Goodall discovered that chimpanzees actually like to eat meat, not just plants. She also learned that they make and use tools in their everyday lives, which shows how intelligent they are. This supports my claim that Goodall has made many significant contributions to science.

In addition to Goodall’s studies, the article states that she is also an activist who teaches young people how to protect animals and has won many awards for her work in protecting chimpanzees. As an activist, Goodall worked to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. She teaches others about the damage that can be done to their habitats with hunting and pollution. The many awards for her work demonstrate the direct impact Goodall has had on our understanding of how to protect chimpanzees.

In conclusion, Jane Goodall has made a significant impact in how people view and study chimpanzees. Without Goodall’s work, we would likely still have many misconceptions about chimpanzees.

Jane Goodall

In my opinion, I think Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees made an important contribution to science because of the many new discoveries she made about primates and their behavior. Her research changed the way people view animals and taught scientists that chimpanzees share many similarities with humans. Because of her contributions and observations, we now know much more about how intelligent and emotional chimpanzees really are.
For example, in paragraph five, the text states that Jane Goodall discovered that chimpanzees were very intelligent animals. She observed them making and using tools, such as using blades made from grass to collect and eat ants. This was surprising because, before her discovery, many scientists believed that only humans had the ability to create and use tools. This important finding helped scientists realize that chimpanzees have problem-solving skills and are capable of thinking in complex ways, which made scientists rethink what makes humans different from animals.
Another example from the text is in paragraph eight, where it states that Goodall also discovered that chimpanzees experience emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and frustration. She observed them attacking smaller monkeys, not because they needed food, but because they didn’t want those animals around in their space. This showed that chimpanzees could feel and act based on emotions, not just instincts. By learning this, scientists began to see that chimpanzees express many of the same feelings as humans, which helps us better understand both their behavior and our own.
In conclusion, Jane Goodall’s discoveries taught scientists important lessons about chimpanzees’ intelligence and emotions. Her work made a huge contribution to science by helping people see how much humans and chimpanzees have in common. 

In paragraph 5, She discovered that chimpanzees were not herbivores. She discovered that they eat meat too. Many people at the time believed that chimpanzees were only herbivores.

In paragraph 6 and 7, She discovered that chimps were intelligent. She observed them making and using tools. They used these tools to make their job easier. A rock became a tool to open a walnut. She observed them using blades of grass as sticks to eat termites. This discovery made people aware of these types of behaviors of chimpanzees.   

In conclusion, Jane Goodall discovery changed how people see chimpanzees. People don't see chimpanzees as animals but as intelligent primates.

Jane Goodall

Jane Goodall was a famous primatologist, who studied the life of chimpanzees. In my opinion she made important contributions to science, specifically about chimpanzees, without her investigation we would never know that chimpanzees are intelligent or that they are carnivores.

She discovered that chimpanzees are not herbivores, they are carnivores. On paragraph 5 the text says that people thought chimpanzees were herbivores but Goodalls discovered that they eat meat, too. This is an example of one of the important discoveries that she made to science.

Another discovery that she found by observing chimpanzees' behaviors, is that they are quite intelligent. The text explains that Goodalls observed chimpanzees making and using tools, befores this discovery people taught that humans were the only ones who made and used them, and as an example of  this tools is that they use blades of grass as a tool to catch and eat termites.

In conclusion, Jane Goodalls was a scientist, specifically a primatologist who found important facts about chimpanzees, making important discoveries to science, by observing chimpanzees in their habitat.

In my opinion, I agree that Jane Goodall’s work with chimpanzees had an important contribution to science because humans learned a lot about primates through her observation. In the text it shows different discoveries that contribute to science. 

These discoveries included how chimpanzees use tools just like humans. In Paragraph 5, it says “ She observed them making and using tools! Before that, People thought humans were the only animals that made and used tools.” This shows that Chimpanzees are closer to humans than previously thought because chimpanzees are able to make tools as well. Another discovery was that humans and Chimpanzees shared the same feelings. In Paragraph 8, it says “Over time, she learned that chimps were smart animals. She learned that chimps express many of the same feelings as people.” It shows that Jane Goodall discovered that chimpanzees have the same feeling as humans.

In conclusion, I agree that Jane Goodall’s work had an important contribution to science because of her discoveries from her observations. Her discoveries changed the view humans had on Chimpanzees

In my opinion, Jane Goodall’s discoveries changed the way people viewed chimpanzees and primates and thus contributed to the evolution of science. On page 116, in the first paragraph, the author states, “Before Goodall wrote about this behavior, people did not realize how clever chimps and other primates are.” I can infer from this sentence that people changed their initial thoughts about chimps. On page 114, paragraph 2, the text states, “Goodall discovered that chimps were quite intelligent.“ She focused her work on chimps behavior. Her discoveries have made her one of the best scientists in the world.

First of all, Goodall learned that chimpanzees are very intelligent. In paragraph 7, It says that chimpanzees were able to use tools. She observed that chimpanzees were using blades of grass to help themselves to get some termites and eat them.

Likewise, Goodall discovered that these primates express feelings. The text states that she observed chimpanzees attacking other animals because they didn’t want them around them.

In conclusion, Jane Goodall’s research contributed to the science field of the study of animals. She demonstrated that they are clever and show their feelings.
