Jim Ottaviani presents an account of the three greatest primatologists of the last century: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas. These three researchers were all students of Louis Leakey, and each made profound contributions to primatology -- and to our own understanding of ourselves. Tackling Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikas in turn, and covering the highlights of their respective careers, Primates is an accessible look at the field of primatology and at the lives of three of the most remarkable women scientists of the twentieth century.
