16. As a child, Jane loved reading books about a fictional character called Dr Dolittle, who could talk to animals. Perhaps this is what inspired her to go to Africa when she was in her 20s. Here she came across a scientist who asked Jane if she might want a job observing chimpanzees in the wild. She immediately said yes. She went with her mother to the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania to start her new job, and it was not long before she made out a group of chimpanzees in the trees around an area now called the Gombe Stream National Park.

    • Visiting the Gombe stream National Park

17. How could a young English woman with no scientific training possibly make contact with  a group of wild chimpanzees? At first, the animals ran away as soon as they saw her. But  maybe because she knew very little about these wild animals, it is highly likely that her  calmness gained their trust. It was only later that Jane would learn how dangerous they could  be. 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. 

    17- According to the author, how did Jane get the chimpanzees to trust her?

    • They did not know she was there
    • She talked to them
    • She was relaxed with them
    • They did not trust her

    • The chimpanzees had fights and disciplined their children
