Tanganyika is a lake located in Africa, in the shore of this place can find a country named Tanzania that has Gombe National Park. Here lives many different kinds of animals, there are also a hundred of species of birds.

Jean Goodall is a girl who has lived more than thirty years in Tanganyika, She received a chimpanzee toy when she was a child, and she took this animal wherever she went. When she still was a child she got interested in wild animals, and decided to go to Africa for leaning more about those kind of animals. She arrived in Gombe in 1960.

Gombe was a home for chimps, for that reason somebody had protected it, cause without the forest the chimps had not survived.

Goodall began to study the chimps with the help of other persons. She observed them to much for looking how they act and how the live. She tought if she were alone in the forest maybe she could get more close to the chimps. She Stayed up in the mountain named Peak, from that place she could watch chimps by binocular so far. Someday a group of chimps where watched by Goodall, when they were eating, then they watched too, and continued eating.

Our ancestors....

People who lived before were called prehistoric people, cause they did not write anything about them. Sciencists studied old bones and other things for investigating their past.


They found first clues in the eastern of Africa. The oldest species lived almost 4.5 million of years ago. After appeared another species around 2.5 million of years ago. Then  came Homo erectus 1.9 million of years ago. (They were first of cooking and discovered fire).

The humankind began with Homo Sapiens, this specie appeared almost 200,000 of years ago. They invented special tools, that made their lives more easy than it was. They moved constantly to find food.


Many scientists think that change in weather made that species go to another parts of the world.

After the Ice Age, human developed their own culture, or the special way how to live together. In Africa they learned how to hunt animals with arrows and bows.  In Europe and Asia, they lived near the seas, so they found the way how to catch fish. In some parts of America they used spears to hunt animals.

Almost 10,000 years ago people began to growing plants, 2,000 years later they used sheeps and goats. In addition to this appear agriculture.

In order to improve their lives, they began to farm, so that new form of life let people live better. They used plows for getting new type of food.

After they began to live in villages, that they throug the time became to be cities.
