Bonobos | 60 Minutes Archive
Bonobos, our primate cousins, are an endangered species, live in female-dominated groups and would rather make love than war. In 2015, Anderson Cooper visited a sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of Congo that's caring for these great apes, which are being hunted to extinction.
"60 Minutes" is the most successful television broadcast in history. Offering hard-hitting investigative reports, interviews, feature segments and profiles of people in the news, the broadcast began in 1968 and is still a hit, over 50 seasons later, regularly making Nielsen's Top 10.

Check out Dr. Stuart McGill, he is the world's best low back pain expert so he rarely discusses fibromyalgia but has had some success stories rehabbing fibromyalgia patients. The key is to recode the nerve engrams. You can find a pdf of his book low back disorders online and he wrote a few paragraphs about it. Worth checking out imo.
We aren’t just closely related to Great apes, we are one of them, literally. You remember learning in school about domain, kingdom, phylum, class, exedra? Humans are classified in the family hominidae, also known as the Great apes. So we are one of the Great apes. Chimpanzees and bonobos are MORE closely related to us than they are to gorillas and orangutans. And gorillas are closer related to us than they are to orangutans.

@@southlondon86 Well, dunno yet. I suspect we don't know and aren't meant to know because if we did, we would be jumping off buildings and bridges to get there. The human body is an electrochemical system. Electricity is energy and energy never disappears. It only transforms. So, the way I see it is...when our bodies give out and can no longer support this electrochemical system, the energy leaves our body and goes to this "next form". What this form is....again, I'm not sure. But, even Peter Pan said...."To die would be a great adventure." I believe their is some truth to that. It will be an adventure.
I hope the released bonobos are safe in their new home!
Love them. Would love to go there and help out.
I wish they would not disclose such specifics about their location. People will try to find them and hunt them down.

No. 4 million years ago is the era of Australopithecus Anamensis/Afarensis. They had a different skull structure and differently organized slightly larger brain already, they also were as fully bipedal as we are, just slightly differently. They also had evolved the "Baseball Pitcher's" shoulder that enables Humans to throw Baseball sized objects, especially rocks, very hard, probably the first Hominin projectile weapon capability. Thus, our ancestors were more dangerous than these Bonobos.

Bonobos live in an area of abundant resources, with few predators. This makes aggression less important fort survival and cooperation more important. If chimps ever invaded their territory, I'm afraid they wouldn't survive.
