In 1960, Dr. Goodall first arrived on the shores of lake Tanganyika, Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees - but did you know for almost as long there have been researchers studying baboons in Gombe as well? The Gombe baboon study is a groundbreaking longitudinal study run by Dr. Anthony Collins, and the emergent findings have shaped better understanding of baboon ecology, species interactions, zoonotic disease and more! Did you also know that chimpanzees are great apes, vs baboons which are monkeys? A good way to tell is to TAIL the difference (chimpanzees and great apes like humans don't have tails, monkeys do!)
Are you inspired by the research Dr. Goodall shared from Gombe, Tanzania? Did you know that research continues to this day through JGI's Gombe Stream Research Center - the longest running wild chimpanzee study in the world?
