World renowned primatologist Jane Goodall has died of natural causes at the age of 91 during her tour of the US.
The legendary conservationist is widely known for her ground-breaking work with Chimpanzees, which she began when she travelled to the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanazania in 1960.
Seventeen years later she founded the Jane Goodall Institute to support research in the Gombe park.
The Jane Goodall Institute posted the tragic news on its Facebook page earlier this evening.

I prefer to use the term negro, much to the angst of some here.
That was the polite description when I grew up, as opposed to the more insulting terms of the time.
Too old and mean to follow fashion of the day.

It used to be pc to say “African American”-but that always seemed stupid to me because they are not from Africa-and not all people in Africa are black. Now Black seems more acceptable-Spanish is my 2nd language-and “negro” just means black/the color black, that actually sounds better, I guess. A Black person/una persona negra/negro works in either language-I just wish they would pick a word and stick with it-we Caucasians don’t change our descriptive race words all the time-neither do Asians...
The various words used for us are all over the map.
But, being called them is just fine in their culture as Caucasians are ALL racist.
I think what Texan’s trying to get at is that this is a thread about Jane Goodall.
Some people insisted on bringing in racial humor and racial statistics, which is decidedly off-topic. (And they’re not being subtle, either.)
Sounds like it
Agree many make up history as the want it to be
MEDIA APPROVED
Fair 'nuff. My oversight. Still, VERY interesting chart. Thanks for posting.
