Pan paniscus, a forest-dwelling primate of central Africa. The bonobo shares 98% of its genes with its closest relatives, the chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes, Latin for "cave-dwelling ape"), and the human ( Homo sapiens sapiens, "the ape that thinks it thinks"). Unlike the chimpanzee and the human, the bonobo does not engage in warfare, power politics, murder, or cannibalism. The bonobo species resolves conflict through sex rather than aggression -- bonobos would rather fuck than fight. (See "Bonobo Sex and Society" by Frans B. M. de Waal, Scientific American, March 1995.)
