Goodall, who spent years studying chimpanzees, appeared to
make the connection while explaining the animal's pursuit of
dominance.

Works for orangutans too I presume.

Chimpanzees are violent, thuggish creatures. Orangutans are far more
laid back, easy going, only occasionally stroppy. And so are bonobos
(which were though to be just another kind of chimpanzee for a long
time). Even gorillas, which you would think, being the biggest, are
the most fearsome of them all, are much more gentle, not as violent as chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees are supposedly the closest to us genetically, but
behaviourally, we seem to have more in common with the orangutans and
the bonobos.

Huh? Our history is filled with killing, conquest, dirty
fighting....

Anyway, if you get a chance, read Jared Diamond's book, "The Third
Chimpanzee."

My curiosity was piqued and I found out a lot of interesting facts
about bonobos on Wikipedia.

Could even be "Rated R," lol.

I heard an anthropologist speculate if you replaced the humans in New
York city with nine million chimpanzees, the next morning the city would
only have a thousand chimpanzees.

Human have learned to tolerate humans even at close quarters.
