Primates: The Fearless Science Of Jane Goodall, Diane Fossey And Birute Galdika This graphic novel follows the careers of three women who pioneered field research in primatology. Jane Goodall is famous for her work with chimpanzees, Diane Fossey worked with gorillas, and Birut Galdikas documented the lives of African orangutans. Prior to 1950, the world knew very little about primates.Many researchers had tried to observe and understand these creatures in their natural habitat but all had failed.These three women, working on different continents with different primates, challenged the world's view of great apes and changed not only how we view primates but how they are connected to the human species.
