The behaviors and emotions of primates have developed through natural selection to support the social group. Likewise, human behaviors and emotions are harvests of evolution maintained within social groups. Therefore, making lead way for many rules, laws, and systems in human societies that are meant to justify our subconscious behaviors and emotions and to prevent us from abandoning them rather than to restrain us from enlightening them.
In this paper I would like to provide ecological information that shows the difference between bonobos and common chimpanzees. While carefully shedding light on which one of the Pan Primates mostly resembles our past ancestors and Homo sapiens (humans) in present day genera systems.
Hominidae are considered a taxonomic family that are made up of seven surviving species in four different genera groups; Pongo, Gorilla, Pan and Homo. Within Pongo genera, you have the Bornean & Sumatran Orangutan; Within the Gorilla genera, you have the Western & Eastern Gorilla; Within the Pan genera, you have the Common Chimpanzee & Bonobos; and Within Homo, you have Sapiens. Bonobos and chimpanzees are considered the only two classified in the Pan genera and one of the closest resembling living cousins to Homo sapiens (humans) that we know …show more content…
stated in Primates in Question: The Smithsonian Answer Book. Judging from comparisons of anatomy and genetics, as researchers will agree, common chimpanzees and bonobos in more ways than one favor us in relationships, but in some aspects show notable differences.
Behaviorally, many characteristics have given accurate facts that show common chimpanzees and bonobos are very different from one another. For instance, common chimpanzees are a group that is led by a male, signifying the role of dominance but it can become very violent at times to as males among the group grow and look to prove their dominance for higher position amongst the group. This can even at times lead to the kill one another in confrontation or the fight to be that “Dominant Male” in charge of the group.
On the other hand, bonobos are a group that is led by females, which actually helps sojourn the killing of one another over issues such as “male dominance” and help regulate everybody’s temperamental differences by pleasing each other in sexual activity. Together from both degrees of behavior attributes of the common chimpanzees and bonobos you can assume that both show a partial makeup of our behavioral predispositions in Homo sapiens (Humans) more than we
