Answer
The Trimates, a group of female researchers mentored by renowned anthropologist Louis Leakey, played a pivotal role in the study of primate behavior and human evolution. Leakey's guidance and support empowered these women, Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas, to conduct groundbreaking research on chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, respectively. Their collective work revolutionized our understanding of primate behavior, social dynamics, and the evolutionary relationships between humans and other primates.
