They are not the closest genetic relatives of ours.

Substantiate that first claim.

They are not a species of chimp, nor are they extinct.

tripe

@@Dr.Ian-Plect ape means Imitate it's a pun a play on words...

@@davegonnaway6007 which it didn't do, but ok on your intention

@Dr.Ian-Plect i didn't watch it but it says a bonobo trying to imitate a man in a zoo...

Can you imagine this happening? Oh dear!

that's funny because bonobos are just as aggressive as chimpanzees and both chimpanzees and bonobos are 100 times more violent than humans, with female bonobos being much more aggressive than their chimp counterparts, they did not throw out the rulebook, they are one of only a handful of mammals that can have sex all the time which literally changed their behavior as well as ours.

@@fergarising1972 Bless your heart! You literally don't know what in the hell you're talking about. True, they take no sh*t from males, which is why they have such a peaceful society. The murder, rape & infanticide that are all too common in chimp & human cultures are virtually nonexistent in bonobo culture bc the females drive aggressive males out of the troupe, sometimes missing digits & their 🍆s. But they don't kill them. Chimps, OTOH, are homicidal. In any event, alpha bonobo males don't get to breed w/ bonobo females, & as a result, ADRA2C, which limits primate aggression, is fully expressed in bonobos, whereas in humans & chimps it is not, which is one of the reasons that male chimps & men are so prone to violence. www.earth.com/news/humans-chimps-war-genetics/ You need to read a lot more, starting w/ these oldies but goodies: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demonic_Males www.ucpress.edu/book/9780520216518/bonobo Moreover, there is this this recent discovery: www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0018506X19301503 They tolerate males, they don't bond w/ them. To my mind, they are akin to lesbian sex workers who have transactional sex as means to an end. But the whole damn culture revolves around the rampant Sapphic sex & their alliances w/ each other that keep males & their propensity for violence in complete check. If only women had the IQs of female bonobos. But alas, we are much more like female common chimps.

@@elizabethmorgan293 do you know when I start listening to people, when they don't immediately gaslight me, and insult me. So, when you immediately gaslit me with the "bless your heart" i stopped reading and or listening to you. So, you can go sit with your delusions that bonobo culture is far less violent than humans somewhere far far away from me. I know for a fact that none of your family members have smacked you around lately nearly as much as a bonobo would smack you around. SO have a nice day.

So it isn't violence if it is female bonobo against male bonobos, got it. You are clearly a misandrous individual and i will leave you with your lunacy.

so ripping off a male's eggplant it not violence either great, glad that mutilation is a peaceful behavior as long as females are doing it, do you not read what you write? I said they were far more aggressive than humans are which is very true. And that bonobo females are much more aggressive than chimp females which is also true. And that CHIMPS and BONOBOS are 100 times more aggressive than humans. Also very true. You ignore the aggression that you find acceptable because it is against males who are automatically evil and then ignore the fact that the aggression is what leads to peace. Great, just great.

You sound like the Unabomber, with your all-consuming political obsession.

@@MrSlanderer Sure hope you are rich. If not, what a sad poodle life you must have.

Not if you're a monkey

Imagine if their children were banging the window for no reason.

there is only 'One' Universe! just as there is only one race of people on this planet; regardless of what ignorant politicians and commentators say, and there is - it's called 'the planet of the ape's'!

we wouldn't survive long if we weren't intelligent so it would probably be an early version of australopithecine, who are tougher

I would say bonobos are a very intelligent species.

I totally agree

They don't HAVE to!! Its us humans, who screw up their environment, so that they become endangered.

Bonobos are not monkeys. They are members of the ape family, the same as us.
