Bonobos and humans share 99% of their genes, making them important research subjects into human evolution and behavior. Violence in their habitats have left the global population at only 20,000. Bonobos have long been thought to be the only primate to live, with relative peace, in matriarchal societies. They mate with multiple partners of both sexes many times a day, likely in an attempt to protect their offspring from male aggression. New research has found that the males can be aggressive when their territory is threatened. Kanzi, a male bonobo in captivity, is said to have learned language. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Smithsonian is the property of Smithsonian Magazine and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
