Conoce la vida de tres importantes primatólogas y descubre a estos increíbles animales a través de ellas. Presentamos la historia de tres primatólogas que cambiaron nuestra forma de entender a los grandes simios... incluidos nosotros. Jane Goodall estudió como nadie antes a los chimpancés y descubrió que usan herramientas como nosotros. Dian Fossey protegió con firmeza el hábitat de los gorilas y dio a conocer su situación precaria a todo el mundo. Biruté Galdikas estudió uno de los simios más desconocido y a la vez más parecido a nosotros, el orangután, y revolucionó el movimiento por la conservación de las selvas. Learn about the lives of three important paleontologists and discover incredible animals through them. These three scientists changed the way we think about the great apes . . . including ourselves. Jane Goodall studied chimpanzees like no one had before and discovered that they use tools just like we do. Dian Fossey was a fierce protector of gorilla habitats and made the world aware of their precarious situation. Biruté Galdikas studied the orangutan, one of the least-known apes that nonetheless resembles us the most, and revolutionized the movement for jungle preservation.

Jane Goodall, Diane Fossey, et Biruté Galdikas sont encore de très jeunes femmes inexpérimentées quand le célèbre archéologue et paléontologue Louis Leakey les recrute. Il leur donne leur chance en les envoyant étudier sur le terrain, respectivement les chimpanzés en Tanzanie, les gorilles au Rwanda et les orang-outang à Bornéo. Par leurs observations minutieuses, leur intuition, leur courage et leur empathie, les trois femmes vont révolutionner notre vision des grands singes, nos frères non humains... A partir de 10 ans.
