Tired of termite tools that don't do the job right? You need the SuperTermite Brush, with specially designed ends, they give you ten times the termites with every poke. Available at a jungle near you. On special this month for just 3 bananas.

@prankstertwins Primatology and/or ethology, or possibly various subdisciplines of biology and anthropology, depending on your interest level. Much of it is in academia, often funded by federal science funding in various countries, but I think there're a few places that may provide private funding, such as the Max Planck Institute.
Frans de Waal is a rather famous and accomplished ethologist, who has written several extremely fascinating popsci books on the subject, if you'd like to read more.

Jane Goodall and her team did

I think they were referring to the multiple steps involved. I've seen Goodall's original footage in an IMAX special, and she does show the "fishing rod" step, but the extra step of the "shovel" or "digger" wasn't in there (or at least as much as I've seen), which is what I think they were getting at.
