Called 'Trimates,' three bold women shaped their field

Article Abstract:

The primatologists were able to make their subjects accept them. Keen powers of observation and infinite patience then enabled them to collect valuable data on the primates. Obsessive behavior by Fossey may indicate a gender bias for the other traits needed to do the work the three women did so successfully.

Miocene primates go ape

Article Abstract:

New fossil finds suggest two of the 30+ ape species alive in the Miocene as prime candidates to be direct ancestors of modern apes and humans. Arm and ankle bones from the 14.5-million year old Kenyapithecus and vertebrae from Morotopithecus, 20.6 million years old, suggest they could be missing links.
