Bonobos. Making Love, Not War
Description
This video clip takes a provocatively close up look at one of our lesser-known human relatives, the bonobo. They may look a lot like chimpanzees, but bonobos live differently than their aggressive, male dominated cousins. This video asks if chimpanzees are the wrong model for human evolution. The females run the show in their culture, and if there's any hint of conflict, they round everybody up for a sexual encounter. Is our evolutionary history one of peace and love instead of competition and aggression?
