[QUOTE="Son of the Serpent, post: 7896665, member: 7015476"] [Edit: sorry [USER=6966824]@Esker[/USER] . only after i posted this did i realized i accidentally replied to the wrong name and not the one i had intended.] Not to derail things but i wanna correct something. We arent actually more similar to bonobos than to normal chimps. Thats mostly sensationalism meant to garner attention. Preeetty dubious. We are overall mote similar to normal chimps. Which as it turns out is a good thing. Bonobos only arent genocided by normal vhimos because they are isolated by a river and they exist only on a single latge island bounded by said river. Chimps dont swim and so the bonobos arent killed off by normal chimps that war. Bonobos can score high on some animal-specialized cognitive tests but its due to "ability to attain" related scewing of scores. They are actually mentally deficient. We are much more like normal chimps in just about every way except for tye fact that bonobos have communication capabilities that are marginally closer to ours than normal chimps' are. Further look up the small handful of strongly matriarchal modern tribes of humans. They are all living in huts or little better and many dont actually have a reliable source of fire because of multiple reasons. We're hardwired to work best as a patriarchy. Of course that doesnt mean we cant have civil rights. We are smarter than chimps. But yeah...we are unhealthy when matriarchal. Ok. Dont let this distract from the topic. The inaccuracy just rubbed me the wrong way. [/QUOTE]
