MAMU 2013 - Dian, Jane, Biruté...ape in human and human in ape Painting

In the field of primatology Dian Fossey, Jane Goodall and Biruté Galdikas became the most famous researchers. They were encouraged and supported by the British archeologist and naturalist Louis Leakey, who was famous for discovering fossils of early humans in Africa. In order to prove Darwin's hypothesis about human evolutionary development, he motivated the three women to field studies on the behaviour of apes. They worked with passion, devoted their lives to primatology. Dian Fossey (1932-1985) observed gorillas in the Virunga Mountains in Ruanda, Jane Goodall (*1934) studied chimpanzee culture in the Gombe Stream Park in Tansania, and Biruté Galdikas (*1946) elaborated field studies of orang outangs in the jungle of Borneo. The three female researchers are known by their books, features and films. they struggled for the protection of their species of ape from abuse by companies of the tourist industry. Dian Fossey , who had great empathy with her gorillas and who destroyed traps, was murdered in her jungle camp. Dame Jane Goodall achieved important prizes and awards, she taught at Stanford University, California and at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tansania. Biruté Galdikas is still active in her research camp and as a professor at the Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada and at the Universitas Nasional in Jacarta, Java, Indonesia.
