Goodall studied [[Common chimpanzee|chimpanzee]] social and family life beginning with the [[Kasakela chimpanzee community]] in [[Gombe Stream National Park]], [[Tanzania]], in 1960.<ref name="timeline">{{cite web |title=Study Corner – Gombe Timeline |url=http://www.janegoodall.org/study-corner-gombe-timeline |publisher=Jane Goodall Institute |year=2010 |access-date=28 July 2010}}</ref><ref name="PBS" /> She found that "it isn't only human beings who have personality, who are capable of rational thought [and] emotions like joy and sorrow."<ref name="PBS">{{Cite web |publisher=[[Public Broadcasting Service|PBS]] |url=https://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/episodes/jane-goodalls-wild-chimpanzees/introduction/1908/ |title=Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees |year=1996 |access-date=28 July 2010}}</ref> She also observed behaviours such as hugs, kisses, pats on the back, and even tickling, what we consider "human" actions.<ref name="PBS" /> Goodall insists that these gestures are evidence of "the close, supportive, affectionate bonds that develop between family members and other individuals within a community, which can persist throughout a life span of more than 50 years."<ref name="PBS" />

Goodall's research at Gombe Stream challenged two long-standing beliefs of the day: that only humans could construct and use tools, and that chimpanzees were vegetarians.<ref name="PBS" /> While observing one chimpanzee feeding at a termite mound, she watched him repeatedly place stalks of grass into termite holes, then remove them from the hole covered with clinging termites, effectively "fishing" for termites.<ref name="Chimp">Goodall, Jane. ''Reason for Hope: A Spiritual Journey''. New York: Warner Books, 1999.</ref> The chimpanzees would also take twigs from trees and strip off the leaves to make the twig more effective, a form of object modification that is the rudimentary beginnings of toolmaking.<ref name="Chimp"/> Humans had long distinguished themselves from the rest of the animal kingdom as "Man the Toolmaker". In response to Goodall's revolutionary findings, [[Louis Leakey]] wrote, "We must now redefine man, redefine tool, or accept chimpanzees as human!"<ref name="Chimp"/><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.janegoodall.org/study-corner-tool-use | work = www.janegoodall.org | title = Tool Use | access-date = 21 September 2009 | archive-date = 8 January 2014 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140108153023/http://www.janegoodall.org/study-corner-tool-use | url-status = dead }}</ref><ref name="Goodall">The Jane Goodall Institute: [http://www.janegoodall.org/chimp_central/default.asp "Chimpanzee Central"], 2008.</ref>

In contrast to the peaceful and affectionate behaviours she observed, Goodall also found an aggressive side of chimpanzee nature at Gombe Stream. She discovered that chimpanzees will systematically hunt and eat smaller primates such as [[colobus]] monkeys.<ref name="PBS" /> Goodall watched a hunting group isolate a colobus monkey high in a tree and block all possible exits; then one chimpanzee climbed up and captured and killed the colobus.<ref name="Goodall"/> The others then each took parts of the carcass, sharing with other members of the troop in response to begging behaviours.<ref name="Goodall"/> The chimpanzees at Gombe kill and eat as much as one-third of the colobus population in the park each year.<ref name="PBS" /> This alone was a major scientific find that challenged previous conceptions of chimpanzee diet and behaviour.<ref>{{Cite web |title=What chimpanzees do? |url=http://www.chimpanzoo.org/enrichment/Foraging-chimpanzees.pdf |website=www.chimpanzoo.org |last=Tresz |first=Hilda}}</ref>

Goodall also observed the tendency for aggression and violence within chimpanzee troops. Goodall observed dominant females deliberately killing the young of other females in the troop to maintain their dominance,<ref name="PBS" /> sometimes going as far as [[cannibalism (zoology)|cannibalism]].<ref name="Chimp"/> She says of this revelation, "During the first ten years of the study I had believed [...] that the Gombe chimpanzees were, for the most part, rather nicer than human beings. [...] Then suddenly we found that chimpanzees could be brutal—that they, like us, had a darker side to their nature."<ref name="Chimp"/> She described the 1974–1978 [[Gombe Chimpanzee War]] in her 1990 memoir, ''Through a Window: My Thirty Years with the Chimpanzees of Gombe''. Her findings revolutionised contemporary knowledge of chimpanzee behaviour and were further evidence of the social similarities between humans and chimpanzees.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Wilson |first=Michael Lawrence |date=2021 |title=Insights into human evolution from 60 years of research on chimpanzees at Gombe |journal=Evolutionary Human Sciences |language=en |volume=3 |pages=e8 |doi=10.1017/ehs.2021.2 |pmid=33604500 |issn=2513-843X|pmc=7886264 }}</ref>

Goodall set herself apart from convention by naming the animals in her studies of primates instead of assigning each a number. Numbering was a nearly universal practice at the time and was thought to be important in avoiding emotional attachment to the subject being studied and thus losing [[objectivity (science)|objectivity]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Blum |first=Deborah |author-link=Deborah Blum |date=26 November 2006 |title=The Primatologist |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/26/books/Blum.t.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181029120123/https://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/26/books/Blum.t.html |archive-date=29 October 2018 |access-date=16 October 2020 |work=The New York Times |language=en-US |issn=0362-4331}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=13 November 2017 |title=Jane Goodall |url=https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/jane-goodall/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200819025408/https://www.nationalgeographic.org/article/jane-goodall/ |archive-date=19 August 2020 |access-date=16 October 2020 |website=[[National Geographic Society]] |language=en}}</ref> Goodall wrote in 1993: "When, in the early 1960s, I brazenly used such words as 'childhood', 'adolescence', 'motivation', 'excitement', and 'mood' I was much criticised. Even worse was my crime of suggesting that chimpanzees had 'personalities'. I was ascribing human characteristics to nonhuman animals and was thus guilty of that worst of ethological sins—anthropomorphism."<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Goodall |first1=Jane |url=http://www.animal-rights-library.com/texts-m/goodall01.htm |title=The Great Ape Project: Equality Beyond Humanity |date=1993 |publisher=Fourth Estate |isbn=978-1-85702-126-4 |editor1-last=Cavalieri |editor1-first=Paola |location=London |page=10}}</ref>

Setting herself apart from other researchers also led her to develop a close bond with the chimpanzees and to become the only human ever accepted into chimpanzee society. She was the lowest-ranking member of a troop for a period of 22 months.

===Jane Goodall Institute===
[[File:Jane Goodall at RS Hungary.JPG|thumbnail|right|Goodall in 2009 with Hungarian Roots & Shoots group members]]

In 1977, Goodall established the [[Jane Goodall Institute]] (JGI), which supports the [[Gombe Stream National Park|Gombe]] research, and she is a global leader in the effort to protect chimpanzees and their habitats. With nineteen offices around the world, the JGI is widely recognised for community-centred [[conservation movement|conservation and development]] programs in Africa. Its global youth program, [[Jane Goodall Institute (Hong Kong)#Roots & Shoots|Roots & Shoots]], began in 1991 when a group of 16 local teenagers met with Goodall on her back porch in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. They were eager to discuss a range of problems they knew about from first-hand experience that caused them deep concern. The organisation has over 10,000 groups in over 100 countries {{as of|2010|lc=y}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rootsandshoots.org/aboutus/history |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110720235233/http://www.rootsandshoots.org/aboutus/history |archive-date=20 July 2011 |title=Our History |work=Roots & Shoots |publisher=The Jane Goodall Institute |access-date=14 July 2010}}</ref>

In 1992, Goodall founded the [[Tchimpounga Sanctuary|Tchimpounga Chimpanzee Rehabilitation Centre]] in the [[Republic of the Congo|Republic of Congo]] to care for chimpanzees orphaned due to bush-meat trade. The rehabilitation houses over a hundred chimps over its three islands.<ref>[[Andrew Westoll|Westoll, Andrew]].

In 1994, Goodall founded the Lake Tanganyika Catchment Reforestation and Education (TACARE or "Take Care") pilot project to protect chimpanzees' habitat from deforestation by reforesting hills around [[Gombe Stream National Park|Gombe]] while simultaneously educating neighbouring communities on sustainability and agriculture training. The TACARE project also supports young girls by offering them access to reproductive health education and through scholarships to finance their college tuition.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.gpsworld.com/esri-jane-goodall-institute-partner-to-protect-ecosystems/ |title=Esri, Jane Goodall Institute partner to protect ecosystems |last=Barwacz |first=Allison|date=10 July 2019 }}</ref>

[[File:Jane Goodall and Lou Perrotti 2009 by DS.jpg|thumb|Goodall in 2009 with Lou Perrotti, who contributed to her book ''Hope for Animals and Their World'']]
Owing to an overflow of handwritten notes, photographs, and data piling up at Jane's home in [[Dar es Salaam]] in the mid-1990s, the Jane Goodall Institute's Center for Primate Studies was created at the [[University of Minnesota]] to house and organise this data. {{as of|2011}} all of the original Jane Goodall archives reside there and have been digitised, analysed, and placed in an online database.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.janegoodall.org/chimpanzees-gsrc |title=JGICPS |publisher=The Jane Goodall Institute |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110210215503/http://www.janegoodall.org/chimpanzees-gsrc |archive-date=10 February 2011 |url-status=dead |access-date=3 February 2011}}</ref> On 17 March 2011, [[Duke University]] spokesman Karl Bates announced that the archives will move to Duke, with [[Anne E. Pusey]], Duke's chairman of [[evolutionary anthropology]], overseeing the collection. Pusey, who managed the archives in Minnesota and worked with Goodall in Tanzania, had worked at Duke for a year.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www2.journalnow.com/news/2011/mar/18/wsmet03-goodall-papers-headed-to-duke-ar-872387/ |title=Goodall papers headed to Duke |work=[[Winston-Salem Journal]] |date=18 March 2011 |access-date=18 March 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130126232610/http://www2.journalnow.com/news/2011/mar/18/wsmet03-goodall-papers-headed-to-duke-ar-872387/ |archive-date=26 January 2013 }}</ref>

In 2018 and 2020, Goodall partnered with friend and CEO [[Michael Cammarata]] on two natural product lines from [[Schmidt's Naturals]] and [[Neptune Wellness Solutions]]. Five percent of every sale benefited the Jane Goodall Institute.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schmidt's Naturals, Jane Goodall Institute partner on deodorants |url=https://drugstorenews.com/beauty/schmidts-naturals-jane-goodall-institute-partner-deodorants|access-date=27 July 2021 |website=Drug Store News |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title='Wonders of Africa': Dr. Jane Goodall Launches Essential Oil Kit—All Sourced From Africa |url=https://okmagazine.com/news/neptune-wellness-solutions-announces-launch-jane-goodall-product/ |access-date=27 July 2021 |website=OK Magazine |date=18 September 2020 |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Jane Goodall Co-Develops Natural Product Line With Neptune Wellness & IFF |url=https://www.beautypackaging.com/contents/view_breaking-news/2020-04-21/jane-goodall-co-develops-natural-product-line-with-neptune-wellness-iff/ |access-date=27 July 2021 |website=Beauty Packaging}}</ref>

Goodall credits the 1986 ''Understanding Chimpanzees'' conference, hosted by the [[Chicago Academy of Sciences]], with shifting her focus from observation of chimpanzees to a broader and more intense concern with animal-human conservation.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Goodall Recalls '86 Chicago Lesson |work=Chicago Tribune |date=19 August 2016 |author=Johnson, Steve |at=Section 1; p. 3}}</ref> She is the former president of [[Advocates for Animals]],<ref>{{cite web |last1=Walker |first1=Tim |title=Is Jane Goodall about to lose her post? |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/2011241/Is-Jane-Goodall-about-to-lose-her-post.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220111/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/celebritynews/2011241/Is-Jane-Goodall-about-to-lose-her-post.html |archive-date=11 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live |website=The Telegraph |date=23 May 2008 |access-date=3 May 2020}}{{cbignore}}</ref> an organisation based in [[Edinburgh]], [[Scotland]], that campaigns against the use of animals in medical research, zoos, farming and sport.<ref>{{Cite web |date=3 April 2023 |title=Leading anthropologist and activist Jane Goodall received a Greek gift for her 89th birthday |url=https://greekcitytimes.com/2023/04/03/jane-goodall-greek-gift-birthday/ |access-date=4 June 2024 |website=Greek City Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=OneKind.Scot campaigns |url=https://www.onekind.scot/campaigns/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170325083824/http://onekind.scot/campaigns |url-status=dead |archive-date=25 March 2017 |website=OneKind |access-date=3 May 2020 }}</ref>

She is a [[Vegetarianism|vegetarian]] and advocates the diet for ethical, environmental, and health reasons. In ''The Inner World of Farm Animals'' (2009), Goodall writes that farm animals are "far more aware and intelligent than we ever imagined and, despite having been bred as domestic slaves, they are individual beings in their own right. As such, they deserve our respect. And our help. Who will plead for them if we are silent?"<ref>Hatkoff, Amy. 2009. ''The Inner World of Farm Animals'', p. 13.</ref> Goodall has also said: "Thousands of people who say they 'love' animals sit down once or twice a day to enjoy the flesh of creatures who have been treated with so little respect and kindness just to make more meat."<ref>{{Cite book |author-last1=Baur |author-first1=Gene |author-last2=Stone |author-first2=Gene |title=Living the Farm Sanctuary Life: The Ultimate Guide to Eating Mindfully, Living Longer, and Feeling Better Every Day |publisher=Harmony/Rodale |year=2015 |page=10 |isbn=978-1-62336-489-2}}</ref> In 2021, Goodall became a [[Veganism|vegan]] and authored a cookbook titled ''Eat Meat Less''.<ref>{{cite web|last=Gwinn |first=Alison |title=Jane Goodall Shares Recipes, and a Mission |website=[[AARP]] |date=16 March 2021 |url=https://www.aarp.org/health/healthy-living/info-2021/jane-goodall-meatless-recipes.html |access-date=17 June 2022 |quote=A longtime vegetarian and now vegan, Goodall}}</ref>

Goodall is an outspoken environmental advocate, speaking on the effects of climate change on endangered species such as chimpanzees. Goodall, alongside her foundation, collaborated with [[NASA]] to use satellite imagery from the Landsat series to remedy the effects of deforestation on chimpanzees and local communities in Western Africa by offering the villagers information on how to reduce activity and preserve their environment.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/2017/satellite-data-changed-chimpanzee-conservation-efforts |title=How Satellite Data Changed Chimpanzee Conservation Efforts |last=Hille |first=Karl |date=24 January 2017 |website=NASA |access-date=29 March 2020}}</ref> To ensure the safe and ethical treatment of animals during ethological studies, Goodall, alongside Professor [[Marc Bekoff|Mark Bekoff]], founded the organization Ethologists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals in 2000.<ref>Clayton, Philip, and Jim Schaal, editors.
