Primates

In Primates, a 2015 one-shot from Macmillan Publishing, the true story of Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas—the three women who revolutionized the study of great apes—is told through vivid sequential art. This educational graphic novel, written and illustrated by Jim Ottaviani and Maris Wicks, brings the pioneering fieldwork and personal triumphs of these scientists to life for a new generation. It matters as a compelling, accessible entry point into the history of primatology, blending biography with science in a format that honors the legacy of its real-life subjects.
