One of the things chimps will do is drag tree branches around for use in dominance displays in which they run at rivals, hair on end, screaming, throwing rocks, making as much noise as possible.

Jane Goodall described one of her chimps who discovered he could bang gas cans together to create an enormous racket, and in the use of which artificial aid he rapidly advanced from relatively low status to alpha.

Chimps use tools in other ways such as when 'fishing' for termites, or most incredibly for me, making absorbent sponges from chewed up leaves or moss. They learn these behaviours from each other: some chimp groups use some tools, some use others, some use none, and innovations spread rapidly within groups.

Jane Goodall is an amazing woman who deserves way more recognition for all she does. I always hear about David Attenborough, I'd like to hear more about Jane.

@artician has a point, I remember a Gary Larson story about a cartoon he'd done on Jane Goodall, one chimp is cleaning another and finds a blonde hair and accuses the other chimp of hanging around 'that Goodall tramp' again.

He got an angry letter from the Goodall foundation and shelved the cartoon, never to be published again.

Years later, he happened to be talking to someone else from the Goodall foundation and she brought the cartoon up. He told her about how he'd pulled it and would never re-print it anywhere because of the reaction, and she said, "That doesn't sound like Jane!"

She contacted Goodall who personally contacted Larson and told him she thought the cartoon was hilarious and he was welcome to re-print it as often as he liked.

Long story short, bureaucrats often get a bug up their ass about things that would never bother the true powers-that-be.

Wait, Jane Goodall? Did I miss something about her?

Jane Goodall proving evolution is bollocks.




she may not be qualified to speak about the evidence for evolution, she has spent great deal of her life observing our genetic primate.

Thanks! It's fixed.

I think Wilson and Ms. Jane Goodall need to get together on this issue and make it very clear to the new administration.

And so, Jane Goodall suggests that all families are restricted to one child per.

I've had BillO's number for a while. He's still my favorite conductor of social experiments on VS.

He's Jane Goodall and we're all...

...well you get the picture.
