She saw that different groups of chimpanzees had battles in which they tried to wipe out  the rival group. But before this, her studies showed her that the chimpanzees could clearly  communicate, allowing them to groom and help each other, share food as well as have  arguments. Jane pointed out that the animals couldn’t communicate using language like  people, but they could communicate by touch and sound. Amazingly, she also realised they  could use sign language.
