Whereas in most other species sexual behavior is a fairly distinct category, in the bonobo it is part and parcel of social relations--and not just between males and females. Bonobos engage in sex in virtually every partner combination (although such contact among close family members may be suppressed). And sexual interactions occur more often among bonobos than among other primates. Despite the frequency of sex, the bonobos rate of reproduction in the wild is about the same as that of the chimpanzee. A female gives birth to a single infant at intervals of between five and six years. So bonobos share at least one very important characteristic with our own species, namely, a partial separation between sex and reproduction.
Humans: worst of both worlds! Violence AND promiscuity!
What if it wasn't either? What would that world look like? I try to picture a world where we all get along and resolve conflict via communication. My preference would not to rub my genitals together with random people lol. My comment on the bonobos would be that our society can be anything and we as humans have decided that being nasty and brutish protecting our “property” from its forcefully takeover.
I agree. We're more sophisticated than we seem to think. The key is to push sociopaths out of power because they tend to project their insecurities and limitations onto everyone. We're so much better than our leaders
Leadership is a Catch 22 its best suited for those who do not want it. I like Bitcoin because it allows for a new paradigm to start. The thought experiments need to continue here as one day they might become thought actions.
Nos évolutions sont diverses puis relatives à divers matraquages il en est de même des divers types de fragilités qui peuvent être également d'ordre pathologique ou non à rajouter contexte voire l'origine à prendre compte et à quel moment T d'une histoire de vie
I’ll be nasty and brutish as a last resort in response to force in certain situations, but otherwise 💯 To picture a world where we relate like humans, not like either chimps or bonobos, probably consider most of your everyday interactions. Consensual; pleasant; respectful; mindful of other’s rights, personhood, boundaries, and desires; personally responsible; socially egalitarian To picture a world where we relate like humans are meant to, go beyond this to consider the happiest family you can: inspiring, deeply loving and caring, generous, thoughtfully considerate
Sounds like a civil society

Je vous conseille le 3eme Chimpanzé de Jared Diamond superbe essai sur l'évolution de l'être humain et puis nous pourrions prendre le temps d'échanger sur nous et nos 6 divers types de créations à faire ce jour à notre actif et puis la thématique sexuellke y est abordée y compris la notion du couple qui est abordée sur son versant sociologique'.
Thank you, I have read Diamonds work previously but not that one I will have to take a look
Tous les essais de Jared Diamond devraient être lus analysés dans son ensemble pour mieux cerner l'histoire du *3eme Chimpanzé* que l'on considère le plus évolué de toutes les espèces de par ses 7 créations à son actif dont la plupart est susceptible de la mener à sa perte.. Pour info j''utilise depuis 2003 à ce jour l' une de premières et riches bibliothèques québécoises en ligne. Des collections au top un énorme lieu-dit pour divers écrits de plus gratuits.. Les travaux d'écriture de Jared Diamond sur notre espèce sont des chefs-d'œuvres selon il a également un passif en termes d'études intéressants en notamment sur les oiseaux et éléphants y compris notre espèce
