Bonobos Chimpanzees

The video explores the differences between chimpanzees and bonobos, focusing on their behaviors and social structures. While both species share 98.7% of human DNA, they exhibit distinct behaviors: chimps can be aggressive and violent, whereas bonobos are peaceful and resolve conflicts through social interactions. Research by Brian Hare and Vanessa Woods highlights bonobos' generous nature, likely due to their environment with abundant food. The video suggests that understanding these differences can provide insights into human behavior, emphasizing the peaceful nature of bonobos as a model for conflict resolution.
