however, living across the river from the chimpanzees (and therefore out of their reach) are the bonobos, our equally close genetic relative. Unlike the chimpanzee, the bonobo is known for its nonaggressive behavior. In fact, bonobos are often referred to as the "make love, not war" ape. Prior to engaging in activities that could otherwise lead to conflict, bonobos engage in sex. The sexual activity functions to diffuse potential conflict. For example, when the group arrives at a feeding ground, they first engage in sexual play and then proceed to eat peacefully.
