	Gombe Stream National Park
		To the human listener, walking through the ancient forests of Gombe Stream, this spine-chilling outburst is also an indicator of imminent visual contact with man’s closest genetic relative: the chimpanzee.
		Gombe is the smallest of Tanzania's national parks: a fragile strip of chimpanzee habitat straddling the steep slopes and river valleys that hem in the sandy northern shore of Lake Tanganyika.
		Chimpanzees share about 98% of their genes with humans, and no scientific expertise is required to distinguish between the individual repertoires of pants, hoots and screams that define the celebrities, the powerbrokers, and the supporting characters.

		Also in her first year at Gombe, Jane observed chimps hunting and eating bushpigs and other animals, disproving theories that chimpanzees were primarily vegetarians and fruit eaters who only occasionally supplemented their diet with insects and small rodents.
		Goodall's work in Gombe became more widely known and in 1962 she entered Cambridge University as a Ph.D. candidate, one of very few people to be admitted without a college degree.
		She defied scientific convention by giving the Gombe chimps names instead of numbers, and insisted on the validity of her observations that animals have distinct personalities, minds and emotions.

		Dominant males at Gombe assert their authority with âpant-hootâ calls that are relatively low pitched, while at Mahale these calls are high.
		âGombe, combined with laboratory studies, changed the picture of the chimpanzee as a harmless animal, easy to ignore in studies of human evolution, to one that needs to be taken absolutely seriously in any scenario of human-ape evolution,â says primatologist Frans B.M. deWaal of Emory University in Atlanta.
