Chimpanzee Behavior
 
Individuality
Chimpanzees, much like humans, have unique physical characteristics and personalities that set them apart from one another. When Dr. Jane first began observing chimps at Gombe, the concept of individuality in nonhuman animals was not well-received by other scientists. But Dr. Goodall and other researchers have accumulated a series of life histories which give a glimpse into individual chimp's genetics and life stories. Knowing an individual's past experiences helps Dr. Jane to understand behavior that would otherwise be puzzling.
