From a purely functional point of view, as I know this will draw some small controversy, Chimpanzees are superior to Bonobos. They, that is the chimps, possess merely enough obsession with sex tied with a ridiculously short copulatory period to produce a fairly high number of military bodies. Add to that, they have a fucking bad attitude, just like people. I would feel more comfortable alongside an 800-pound gorilla than the smallest of the mean apes. Gorillas are nobler creatures than our closest cousins.
And this is a nerdversation if I ever heard one, but if it came to competition between Bonobos and Chimpanzees, you would find the latter would have very little difficulty pushing their matriarchal cousins clearly aside. Follow to this:
I don't know, brah. They keep lions in zoos, and lions will commonly show everyone their testicles, due to the way they hold their tails while standing.
I think this is one thing wrong with our society: I've known a number of parents who will not allow their children to watch kissing on tv or anything with a hint of sexual content, but will not bat an eye at allowing their young children to watch violent shows and movies.
I'm glad the bonobos will not suffer the same fate as other creatures, but the reason is disturbing.

It is amusing to note chimpanzees march in agmine.
"I'm a Bonobo, you know what I mean, when I do my sexy thing in the zoo enclosure."
