Jane Goodall, the renowned conservationist and primatologist, will establish a research center on the Duke University campus.
Goodall will announce the center during a visit to Duke on March 28, the university announced today.
The new center, which will house more than 50 years of Goodall's field data from Tanzania, will be directed by Anne Pusey, chair of Duke's Department of Evolutionary Anthropology.
The papers are coming from the University of Minnesota.
Goodall began studying wild chimpanzees in Gombe National Park in Tanzania 50 years ago, initially at the direction of famed archaeologist and paleontologist Louis Leakey. Her research yielded numerous discoveries about primate and human evolution. Among her most significant findings was that chimpanzees make and use tools, a behavior previously thought to be limited to humans.
