New theory addresses frozen Earth paradox
CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 17 (UPI) -- Renowned conservationist and primatologist Jane Goodall will establish a research center on the Duke University campus in North Carolina, school officials said.
Goodall will announce the center, which will house more than 50 years of her field data from Tanzania, during a visit to Duke later this month, The Charlotte (N.C.) News & Observer reported Thursday.
The Jane Goodall Institute Research Center will be directed by Anne Pusey, chairwoman of Duke's department of evolutionary anthropology, school officials said.
The papers will be coming to Duke from the University of Minnesota.
Goodall began studying wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park in Tanzania 50 years ago, and her research yielded a number of discoveries about primate and human evolution.
Perhaps her most significant finding was that chimpanzees are capable of making and using tools, a behavior once believed to be limited to humans.
