You guys need a spell checker. Use Firefox browser. It highlights your messes for you, so you don't look so illiterate. Hard to even pay attention to what you say when you misspell like that. “eridicate”, “masterbate”, and god knows what else, since I stopped reading comments.

Thanks, Lynne. As to the idea that the bonobos would be unable to protect themselves if under attack, my personal experience is that if you are loving, cooperative and compassionate, you attract the same into your life. Therefore, no need for defense mechanisms. Hugs, Marilyn I loved this article. Thanks, Lynne.

We humans are all a little bit of both, but we each lean a little more dominantly to one or the other, and it sounds like the primates in this story. All humans are either Meatheads or Hippies, and you can be both, but you know a meathead or you know a hippie.

The feelings you have that are left over. I think this in a way reflects our fears of ourselves. As humans we have so many choices on how to deal with our lives. How to react when it doesn't go our way. Friendship, love , and caring are so needed when we have nothing. I learn so much, from kind caring people, but also , the respect we all need. I love you all, again, thanks for sharing. Allison....hugs to everyone today. Has anyone ever been in love, than not in love. The feelings you have that are left over.

Except that it is my understanding that chimps are more successful and prolific as a species. I believe that the most aggressive species will always be stronger than a peaceful one, much as we would prefer to think otherwise. The Hippie lifestyle was tried in the 1960's and largely fizzled out. Perhaps one day we will become truly civilised and all enjoy the Bonobo's lifestyle!

Just to straighten the facts Scandinavia - consisting of Sweden, Norway, Denmark and to some extent iceland/greenland - is democratic. Modern democracy was born in scandinavia, and what is most interesting about it is that although people at large don't like to give away power, we do so for the larger good of society. Maybe like the bonopos? It's great to see the many comments mirroring diverse beliefs held on different subjects. It is good to remember that everyones perspective is just that - a perspective. No better or worse than anyone elses. Whether you believe that the bonobos are doing what they are doing "because it works" is also a matter of perspective. As with the chimps. We have the possibility to reason and talk it out, so for us to make love - not war - figuratively speaking, we only need to let ourselves hear and try to understand someone elses perspective. As soon as we listen without prejudice there is a possibilty for change. Sweden communistic?
