Why did Bonobos evolve such different social behavior from Chimps? This is because Chimps lived in an area that was shared with Gorillas. There was more competition for food therefore the females spent most of their time climbing trees in search of food for themselves and their young, unable to form close bonds with the group. Female Chimps are constantly harassed and raped in Chimp society (unlike our own.) Bonobos on the other hand lived in areas where most of their food can be found on the ground, and there was little competition from other large primates. This made it easy for the mothers to find food, and they were able to spend more time bonding with the other Bonobos. I think humans are much closer to Chimps than Bonobos in this regard. One of my theories on why women haven’t accomplished as much as men have throughout history…well as soon as we even get a chance, we get pregnant and spend most of our lives raising the men who rule our world. This is slowly changing as females get more choice in the matter (no in all countries…) but as mother and wives I’ve always felt that behind every great man there was a great woman. Anyways…MY POINT IS…if we strive towards a Bonobo-esque society, it’ll be constant sexual fun for all!
But I guess no one can say for sure...I mean there are so many human women who are underhanded and vicious bitches, so I think the key is to strive for a society of equality (race, sexuality, gender) and for everyone to strive to just be better human beings as a whole.
