Thanks for sharing. I have often thought that Bonobo behavior may also be related to plentiful food resources in their part of the world. Any research results about this possibility ?? If Human Beings were also located in a region where food was plentiful...would we not also be more inclined to share with both friends and strangers ?? It is when food becomes scarce, as is occurring due to our population explosion,that we become more aggressive towards others ?? Great study. Thanks for sharing.
