Das verborgene Leben der Bonobos

Bonobos are our closest relatives. Although they look very similar to chimpanzees, they are all the more different in their social behaviour: While chimpanzees war against foreign conspecifics, bonobos cultivate a peaceful welcome culture. In their inner-species bonobos do not practice the aggressive right of the strongest, but a matriarchy in which conflicts are compensated for by an excessive sexual life.
