Interview with Vanessa Woods: ” ENN: Why Bonobos? Vanessa Wood: Our main reason for studying Bonobos is incredibly narcissistic. We want to know about ourselves. Chimpanzees, Bonobos and humans share a common evolutionary ancestor. This means around 6 million years ago, apelike creatures were running around. Some would evolve into chimps, some into Bonobos, and some into us. This means that Bonobos share 98.7% of our DNA, just like chimpanzees. But unlike chimpanzees who have war, torture, and occasionally beat the females and kill infants, Bonobos live in a relatively peaceful society, where females form strong relationships and apparently keep the peace through sex.” (09/14/07)
