★ 三位改寫科學史的傳奇女性：珍．古德、黛安．佛西、比魯蒂．葛蒂卡斯
★ 黑猩猩、大猩猩、紅毛猩猩──走進雨林最前線，見證真正的野外研究
★ 用圖像小說說科學，節奏明快，像一場熱血探險
★ 兼具人物故事、動物行為觀察與女性科學家成長歷程，啟發力十足

她們走進世界最深的森林，不是為了征服，而是為了理解。珍．古德凝視黑猩猩，黛安．佛西守護山地大猩猩，比魯蒂．葛蒂卡斯則深入婆羅洲雨林，追尋紅毛猩猩的祕密。三位女性科學家，師承李奇，在偏遠叢林、孤獨研究與無數挑戰中，一步步改寫人類對靈長類、也對「人是誰」的想像。《Primates》以充滿動感的圖像敘事，帶讀者闖進二十世紀最震撼人心的野外科學現場，看見發現的喜悅、研究的代價，以及改變世界的勇氣。

Jim Ottaviani returns with an action-packed account of the three greatest primatologists of the last century: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas. These three ground-breaking researchers were all students of the great 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, entertaining, and informative look at the field of primatology and at the lives of three of the most remarkable women scientists of the twentieth century. Thanks to the charming and inviting illustrations by Maris Wicks, this is a nonfiction graphic novel with broad appeal.

Jim Ottaviani has written nonfiction, science-oriented comics since 1997, notably the #1New York Times bestseller Feynman and Fallout, which was nominated for an Ignatz Award. He has worked as a nuclear engineer, caddy, programmer, and reference librarian.Primates is his first collaboration with artist Maris Wicks. He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Maris Wicks lives with fellow primate Joe Quinones and their cat, Biggs, in Somerville, Massachusetts. She has used her opposable thumbs to draw comics for Adhouse Books, Tugboat Press, and Spongebob Comics and has written stories for Image and DC Comics. When she's not making comics, Maris works as a program educator at the New England Aquarium. She is an avid tool user and is particularly fond of bananas.
