The bonobo, least known of the great apes, is a female-centered, egalitarian species that has been dubbed the 'make-love-not-war' primate by specialists. In bonobo society, females form alliances to intimidate males, sexual behavior (in virtually ...

"I used to prefer bonobos over chimpanzees, but now I think I prefer chimpanzees. This is because the matriarchy freaks me out. Females using sex to take oranges from unwitting males? Females teaming up to keep the males divided? Females banding together to bite males' fingers off? As a primate male of the decidedly non-alpha variety, I do not approve of this kind of behavior. Then again, life would be way worse as a chimp, maybe, but at least in a chimp world, I would likely be higher up the social latter based on my gender. In the bonobo world, I'd be subservient to the ladies AND the dominant males. Okay, I would rather be a chimp, in spite of the violence."
"This book has amazing photos and is a good easy way for someone to learn some surface info about an ape you may never see in captivity and that will likely not exist in the wild for too much longer. Bonobos are fascinating and the most human-like of any of the apes in my experience, after working with them all. Don't read to the sex part and quit."
"This book made me want to me a primatologist. Then I realized it was pretty much impossible at my point of education so I just pursues a second degree in Evolutionary Anthro instead."
