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.

'The Jane Goodall Institute learned this morning, Wednesday 1 October 2025, that Dr Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, has passed away from natural causes,' the post read.

'She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.

Some black Americans, not all, even Chris Rock makes the distinction.

I'm pinging it now, I wanted to wait a few to make sure this wasn't going to turn into Shootout at the I'm-Okay-You're-Not-Okay Corral.

That's a great point - I should have used "some".

Still racist, and still the source of memes and dog whistles by low intellect types on the Internet.

I’m sorry about this. I truly enjoyed her research. Looked her up and some interesting factoids.

Got into her research thru a crush on Tarzan, believing she would have been a better partner for him than Jane.

Had face blindness which she compensated for by observing external characteristics and habits. Wonder how it affected her chimp research.

Lost the top of her thumb when a chimp in a lab bit it off. OUCH!

Jane Goodall had pets, including her beloved childhood dog Rusty, a horse, and a tortoise. Chimps were classes under friends.

In my experience, anyone who uses the term “dog whistle” can’t be taken seriously.

Dr. Goodall seemed like a genuinely good person who furthered our understanding of the primate world. RIP Jane.

LOL! Perhaps.

I’ve found that some people that don’t like that term realize they’ve been busted for writing in that manner or have a guilty conscience for writing in that manner.

Heard her on the Adam Carolla show. One of the most arrogant and condescending people that I’ve ever heard.

#32: "Dian Fosey did the gorillas."

Far be it from me to judge. Different strokes for different folks.
