Gombe By Jane Goodall Analysis
Through a Window: My Thirty Years With The Chimpanzees of Gombe by Jane Goodall is Jane Goodall's documentation of the time she spent studying chimpanzees in Africa. Although it mostly talks about the animals, of course, it also talks about her working with the people in Africa and her family. She went to Africa to study the chimpanzees and see how they are alike, and different, from humans. She first began her work in Gombe in 1964 with two research assistants, at what eventually became The Gombe Stream Research Centre at the Gombe Stream National Park (Goodall, 2010, p. 28). As the research centre became more developed, Goodall decided to hire college students from the United States and Europe come to work and help research the chimpanzees.
