One important detail that I didn't mention before about Kevin is that every year for the past 25 years, Kevin has spent time living what he calls chimp life.
working on this thing called the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project.
And then he spends the rest of his day just watching them.
They're grooming, they're hunting, they're eating.
So kind of right from the beginning of his time there, Kevin started to notice something interesting about the older female chimps.
She's an old-timey silent movie character.
Kevin's actually known Garbo from the very beginning, since she was about 50.
But for the last 25 years, he's never seen her have a baby.
But the thing Kevin wanted to figure out was like, is Garbo an anomaly or is this something that's happening to more chimps than just her?
And to get to the bottom of that, he had to collect.
