Bonobos may be the most closely related of all species to the human. We share about 98 % of our genetic make-up. We are more closely related to them and chimpanzees than chimpanzees are to gorillas.

Behaviorally the bonobo may be more like people than the chimp. However they are among the most recently discovered of species, thus, few people know about them.

The effects of captivity and of being around people may influence their behavior. Here a young bonobo appears to imitate the human wearing of cloths. However, she may just be carrying around bedding material. Bonobos are quite clothes conscious, however, and around Halloween and at other times, when costumed humans sometimes appear, they cause much excitement and staring among the bonobos.

Bonobos are notable because they have very complex behavior and can resolve their conflicts by a variety of means that result in an overall peaceful society.

They look like people with neatly parted hair and red lips.

The Bonobo, also called the Pygmy or Gracile Chimpanzee (Pan paniscus) belongs to the species (with the common chimpanzee) that is most closely related to humans. Its DNA is 98% identical to that of humans and some researchers think they should be classified with the human species, i.e., Homo paniscus. Bonobos have relatively long legs, a matriarchal cultural, and are generally considered frugivorous. They often walk upright and have a human-like appearance. Frans de Waal, one of the leading primate researchers, has stated that the bonobo is capable of empathy, kindness, altruism, and compassion. E. Savage-Rumbaugh and Roger Lewin have extensively studied the ability of the bonobo to learn language. Kanzi has learned over 3000 spoken English words and around 400 lexigrams. He can understand simple grammatical sentences and possibly invent new vocal sounds. The bonobo is also an accomplished tool user.

  • why cant ppl agree that god created apes and he created evolution

  • @kathrien321 Right and the bonobo is a fine animal.

  • Wow, amazing...gee....gosh !!!!

  • @fjbutch They walk upright quite frequently

  • WTF is a Bonobo?

  • @Bax7a They are related to both chimpanzees and people. They may be the closest cousins of any animal to people.

  • @kingrockkid Seriously? No DNA evidence that humans and chimps have a common ancestor? Time for a reality check buddy, they have mapped the human genome and the chimp genome, were you asleep for the last 15 years?

  • @kathrien321 Because there's mountains of evidence for evolution and the genetic links between humans and other great apes, while there's no evidence for the existence of a deity. Denial of evolution is complete ignorance and something altogether different than using reason to conclude that one need not resort to the god hypothesis to understand the world. Religion is rendered useless by the inception of modern science.

  • @kathrien321: Because there is no evidence that there is even a god in the first place.

  • @Bax7a bonobos chimpanzees and humans belong to the same tribe

  • now im not saying there is or isnt a god but for fux sake dont try to make ppl believe in something illusionary just becuase you do,, your welcome to your opinions, but so are we,, and like assholes,,we all have one,,and most of them are shitty =)

  • @kathrien321 Whos to say that you are correct? That's why.

  • @kathrien321 because a) god isn't real (that is opinionated though, and is in fact my opinion) and b) we didn't evolve from apes. We share a common ancestor with them, and from that ancestor, we branched out, humans went down one path, apes down the other

  • @kathrien321 That's not what bible says, just that.

  • @kathrien321 because you don't "create" evolution...that is entirely the point...there is no designer, just a design

  • @kathrien321 why should they? there is no evidence for god, and there is plenty evidence for evolution, so why put god into the whole equation? because your momma told you? because it makes you feel better inside? because you are to spineless and weak to even think about a reality without a magical skydaddy caring for you ? because you cant get your head around the fact that you are going to die and not exist anymore?

  • @kathrien321 Because there is no need for a god in the evolutionary process that lead to apes. Natural selection is NATURAL, meaning it carries on without intervention. Apes evolved because they were better adapted. Putting god into the equation only generates an even bigger question: who or what created god?

  • Wow you're pending approval a vid.

    Nice job. People love it when you do that.
