Bonobos Make Love Not War

What are bonobos?
If you know what a bonobo is, or can tell a bonobo apart from a chimpanzee, then you are one of a few very special people.

Not many people know that we have another close relative besides the chimpanzee. Like chimpanzees, bonobos share 98.7% of our DNA. Chimpanzees and bonobos look very similar. But if you look closely, youll see that bonobos are a little smaller, with pink lips, black faces, and a very attractive hairstyle with long black hair neatly parted in the middle. The first two toes of bonobos have a little bit of webbing. While chimpanzees have low, loud voices, bonobos are very high pitched. Also, bonobo mothers have
breasts that look a lot like humans.

Make Love Not War!
But when you get to know bonobos, youll see they couldnt be more different. Like humans, chimpanzees have war. The males are in charge, and they can occasionally be very violent. Sometimes they even kill each other.

Bonobos do not kill each other. The females are in charge of the group and they seem to keep everyones temper under control with sexual activity. It doesnt matter how old you are, or if youre male or female if youre a bonobo, sex plays a big part in living together peacefully.

As humans, we still have a lot to learn, we can learn from our closest relatives 'Make Love Not War'!

Thanks for watching, Loz

What's the point of this video? It's just bonobos and music.

Bonobos rule! My favorite of the primate family, along with humans. Too bad we're not as calm and as peaceful as they are. We can learn a lot about improving our species pragmatic skills (social skills and such) through observing the pragmatic skills of Bonobos as well as another peace loving creature the Argentine Ants... they don't attack their own kind. Funny how humans love to think they created peace, when there are even species of insects that have perfect it. Thanks for the video. Peace.

I think we get as much from Bonobos as Chimpanzees. Sure we make war, but we give peace a chance. We also have always been very promiscuous even in ages when we've been told not to be. Bonobo even perform the same kinds of sexual acts we do.
