   "It seems to be bad when it's indeterminate who is the father of a child." Bonobo females use an interesting strategy that disagrees with this. When in estrus they mate with as many males in the group as possible to confuse the paternity. T

    "these sample comments are then compared to “smart” text from a body of work on sites like Project Gutenberg, an online catalog of great world literature. Mr. Ortiz says he took snippets from classics by such authors as Jules Verne and J.D.
