  • Essay / Behavioral differences between chimpanzees and bonobos

    IntroductionAs neighboring living families, chimpanzees as well as bonobos have been widely used as prototypes of early hominid behavior. However, in modern years, as statistics on the social behaviors or ecosystem of bonobos have come to light, many interspecific assessments have been carried out. Chimpanzees have been described in terms of intercommunal strife, meat eating, infanticide, anthropology, struggle for male position, and supremacy over females. Bonobos, for now, have been described as apes "creators of love, but not war", categorized by female power sharing, a lack of hostility between characters or groups, exposed sexual behavior which occurs without constraint. of a thin window of fertility and the use of sex for communicative determinations. This article evaluates the indication of this contrast and reflects the reasons why distinct representations of the two great apes have been put forward. Although there are notable differences in social behavior between these two primates, I argue that they have more similar behaviors than most books have made out. suggested. This book describes several reasons why modern views of bonobo and chimpanzee cultures may not harmonize with field data. Bonobos are derived because their behavior was defined more recently than that of chimpanzees, and it is likely that explanations for the differences between bonobos and chimpanzees are echoes of human male-female alterations. The book shows that these two African apes have been shown to differ intensely in their patterns. of sexuality, supremacy, same-sex social bonds, and the emergence and potency of both intra- and intergroup hostility. Chimpanzees have been researched... middle of article ...... and transmission through females is considered important in demonstrating the behavior of the common hominoid ancestor. If female bulges are linked to powerful male territoriality because they provide females with harmless passage between groups, then territoriality could be based on food reserves. In conclusion, it may not be factual that male bonobos are not associated with each other; relatively, their bonds may be less apparent and perhaps less resilient than bonds between women and men tend to be. Therefore, male bonobos participate in territory protection and bonobo culture is powerfully philopatric. The emphasis on female sexuality as well as on female influence is the consequence of studies considering the woman-woman association, man-woman association and finally the man-man association, the latter being the most frequent..
