> Yet, bonobos are indeed known for organizing attacks on neighboring primate groups
Are those primates other bonobos? That could be called going to war. If not, it's called hunting: those other primates are just food. It's not like we go to war against whatever other animals we are eating.
- tinkerrr 9y agoThere's Lynn Saxon's book The Naked Bonobo that debunks a lot of popular myths about Bonobos - https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Bonobo-Lynn-Saxon/dp/1523945516 https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Bonobo-Lynn-Saxon/dp/1523945516 To the parent's comment though, bonobos don't actually form patrols and they tend to avoid contact with other groups, so intra-group conflict is lower for bonobos than chimpanzees.
