> If chimpanzees - one of the species closest to humans genetically

People seem to talk a lot about chimpanzees and their closeness to humans, and comparative behavior, but a lot less is said about the other closest species, the bonobo monkey.

Their society is very peaceful and things like infanticide, a popular pastime in chimpanzee society, is absent among bonobos.

The most notable trait of bonobos is that everyone has sex with every one else, constantly, (almost) regardless of relation, gender or age.

You'd think humans could learn much from such a peaceful species, but most people don't even know they exist.
