In the London Blitz, Jane Goodall witnessed the bombing of London on September 7, 1940. Hitler wanted to destroy London and Great Britain. Jane was there for the heartfelt tragedy, when for 57 consecutive days and nights London was bombed. Thousands of people died during this tragic time. Later, she went to the magnificent jungles of Africa. There she began an institute for saving the apes of Africa. She stood in Africa for a period of time, so that she could begin, direct, and organize the "Jane Goodall Institute." Later on in her life, she traveled to the magnificent forests of Gombe.

As a child, Jane was always interested in the wondrous beauties and contributions of nature and it's animals, especially chimpanzees. Jane used her incredible talents to help others. In 1965, she earned a PhD in Ethology. One of the most unique things about Jane studying the chimpanzees was that she named them. Instead of tagging them with numbers and codes, Jane treated them as humans and gave them original human names. She reflects the chimpanzees as human families.
