Bonobo’s Lives

TheStar has a great little article on Bonobos. In particular this little nugget:

However, on top of that heavy social schedule, they still found time to spend about 15 per cent of their hours having sex (with friends, acquaintances and in groups comprising both sexes, often in a jolly tangle of fun and frolics).

Furthermore, they only spend about 0.0002 per cent of their time fighting among themselves. So my question is this: If this is how bonobos spend their time, why do we humans think we are the superior species?

It’s a great article.
