Episode 24: The Trimates


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the legacy of the Trimates — Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas — three women who transformed primatology through empathy, long-term immersion, and a deep respect for primates as individuals. Their groundbreaking work reshaped how we understand our closest relatives and continues to guide conservation today.
