Bonobos and the joys of an anonymous blog
So I was at a gathering last night and the subject of the Bonobos came up. Actually, I brought up the subject of Bonobos because they are inherently funny, like crack or people on fire.
See Bonobos are very close genetically to humans and are virtually identical to chimpanzees. However, whereas chimpanzee society has an alpha male and thus constant battles for dominance, Bonobos society is remarkably pieceful. Instead of fighting, the bonobos prefer bonin’. For example, if two males have a disagreement over some food, they prefer to resolve the dispute like gentlemen, with some good old fashion penis fencing.
Unlike chimps, the bonobos don’t have to compete with gorillas for food, so they have a lot more free time. Since they can’t read and they don’t have television, there isn’t much else to do but have sex. And sex it up they do: male on male, female on female, baby on male on female, male on self both with hand and (gasp) mouth.
I think we have a lot to learn from Bonobos society. Bring back the gay bomb (as made famous on 30 Rock).
