What do we learn from the bonobo monkeys

A study published in 2005 confirmed strong similarities between the genetic structure of human and bonobo apes. there are differences between the two species, but many purely statistical comparison shows a 98% similarity in DNA sequences.

Ongoing studies in the United States of America has shown the ability of bonobos to memorize the words and the use of primitive tools. Tests show that with constant training, these animals have language skills may be the sameone-year-old child of two humans.

Interesting as such research may be the question is if we learn something of bonobo apes. Bee enthusiasts have figured out how peaceful animals are pointed, but the facts contradict this conclusion: Bonobos are known for violent behavior on several occasions. Your company can not be shown to be free from aggression.

Those who promote vegetarianism among the people pointing the diet of the bonobo 'and the lack of scientific knowledge. Observationtheir natural habitat of these species do not eat only fruit, but also showed small animals like squirrels.

There are characteristics of Bonobo monkeys, we reflect the value of? People are infinitely more intelligent than monkeys, but we are absolutely happy? If our thoughts influence our primitive instincts, not this always happen to our advantage?

Naturalists are great efforts to save bonobos from extinction. At the turn of the 21st Century, onlya few thousand of these monkeys are still living in their natural habitat in Central Africa. Hunting by humans and deforestation, which reduces their place in the food, the most serious threats to their survival.

From what we know about the bonobo monkeys, captured four elements of our attention should be humble ability to provide resources for some traces of individuality, the tendency to avoid unnecessary costs and a limited capacity for self-protection measures taken. Consider these four ideasin detail.

[1] distribution of resources: the bonobo monkeys, like all animals, not to move at the same speed. What makes these monkeys is noteworthy that they are able, are standing on two legs over long distances on foot. Scientists estimate that about bonobo apes walk upright from ¼ time.

We do not know what he does sometimes go up and if not on all fours. The logical conclusion would be that to some extent, the bonobos are capable ofas their physical resources to match the situation.

Similarly, observers in Central Africa have stressed the bonobo monkeys divided into groups to find food more efficiently. The drive to optimize resource allocation, which is intensive in human beings, bonobos seems to be a property that we, together.

[2] model of individuality: the facial features of each Bonobo are very different, as is the case in humans. Each monkey is unique and can be distinguishedother members of the species. On the other hand, research suggests evidence of personality traits in monkeys in a complex human dimensions that could be compared.

The individuality of the bonobo is related to their family and in particular group. incestuous relationships are not held and denied intruders from other groups. For people, including our unique psychological aspects, beliefs and interests. In both cases, humans and monkeys, attemptsignoring the individual characteristics to produce stress.

[3] to avoid unnecessary costs: bonobos eat mostly plants and fruits in an environment where they live in Central Africa. Hunting, which requires much more effort in search of food plays a major role. If these monkeys go for small animals, they focus on the prey that can be easily caught and eaten quickly.

Bonobo monkey hunting, especially squirrels and small forest antelope. Prey is eaten immediately after capture. Theseviolent behavior is relatively unusual for these monkeys, as can easily be achieved by eating protein Haumana, a plant that grows in Central Africa.

When people save, the tendency to wasted effort seems to be tied to individual motivation. productivity gains in the long-term levels of demand for reflection, patience and personal commitment to contribute, not everyone is ready. However, the general tendency to avoid waste in all men.

[4], adopting theMeasures to further self-protection: the bonobo apes build nests in trees where they sleep on board at night. In their natural habitat in Central Africa, this measure proves to be highly effective protection against predators. Moreover, bonobos protect their territory against intrusion by other groups. These monkeys tend to be problems with the acquisition of steady habits, responding to consolidate the improvements.

experiments to teach in the U.S. indicates bonobo is designed to recognize wordstheir learning takes place in several stages. The signs to watch a series of sounds or of knowledge, the first group that the symbols can be taught more after it. People learn in a similar manner as foreign languages, although unpredictable at a faster rate.

Bonobo apes share the four characteristics listed above in humans, but their yield is lower in all sectors. Improvement of cognitive bonobo 'rather than in controlled experiments. Left to themselves, theseMonkeys show little ability to develop or acquire new skills.

What can we learn from bonobo apes is that their desire to benefit the environment with minimal effort seems to be innate. Bonobos are signs of individuality, try to avoid unnecessary work and are able, in a modest, self-protection measures.

How do people react to these problems monkeys in the search for solutions that provide acceptable levels of stability. The tendency to increase the efficiencyin bonobo only to the extent of their limited understanding. In men, with infinite possibilities for improvement, this trend is overwhelming.
