It's no wonder that they are our closest cousin.
Gorillas, in comparison, are much more laid-back.
- tsimionescu 2y agoOur closest cousins are actually bonobos (or at least they are as close to us as chimpanzees are), which don't have this type of hierarchy. Regardless, group social hierarchies don't necessarily translate even between closely related species, such as chimps and bonobos, so there is no reason whatsoever to extend them from some ape to humans.
