Would bonobos mate with humans?

Women tend to be nurturing and caring while we guys usually want to kill something. :slight_smile:

Yep, that’s the answer I usually get :smiley:

There’s actually some truth to this. I once went to a lecture by paleontologist Louis Leakey in the early 1970s. He said he had encouraged the studies of Jane Goodall and Diane Fossey in part because as women they would be less likely to behave aggressively or challenge male chimpanzees or gorillas and so would be better able to habituate groups. He felt that men would have been too likely to behave aggressively in a confrontation with a dominant male and get into trouble.
