Bonobos are an endangered species of great apes. They have two behavioural characteristics that make them stand out: one, they are known for having lots of sex, and frequently. In other words, they are the [[Chad]]s of the animal kingdom. | [[File:South_American_tapir_(Tapirus_terrestris).JPG]] | ||
Bonobos are an endangered species of great apes. They have two behavioural characteristics that make them stand out: one, they are known for having lots of sex, and frequently. In other words, they are the [[Chad]]s of the animal kingdom. They have higher male [[reproductive skew]] than chimpanzees, which is theorized to be due to them being societally cohesive. | |||
Due to their close relation to humans, bonobos could be an interesting case study into whether [[sexlessness]] among humans constitutes a [[Maslow need]] or [[ADL]] that is missing. | |||
