Beauty and the Beasts by Carol Jahme
Steaming jungles, hirsute primates, attractive women - a photogenic cocktail which aspiring writers and Hollywood directors have been drawn to for decades. But how much truth do these fictionalized images hold? From Jane Goodall to Dian Fossey, primatology is one of the only areas of science in which women actually dominate. Yet while the discoveries of female primatologists have lain the foundation of what is now known of ape behaviour, the methodology has often been criticized for being over-emotional, unscientific and in many cases plain mad. Yet women continue to find out more about ape behaviour than their male counterparts and our knowledge of ourselves continues to be strengthened by their research.
Carole Jahme is a primatologist and popular science documentary maker who has written and produced numerous films on the subject. She lives in London and is married to Marianne Faithful's Son. They have two children.
