    I had the opportunity to work with Bonobos. They are amazing creatures. They are very human-like.

    Beautiful, thank you Irene. Nature opens our soul and heart. I apologize for all the pain that we bring to Mother Nature and to animals. Bonobos, thank you for showing us the right path...We are going to improve, to grow inside. I swear. We must make this choice.

    Both bonobos and chimps are out closest living relatives (bonobos a bit more close). But both of them show many different behaviours

    Having contact w/ another sentient being from our ecosphere can be profound & give us revolutionary perspectives. Any one who doubts this, should read the book, "Ishmael", by Daniel Quinn......

    This answers the question as to the basis of our morality and it's a stunning answer. We have both the tendencies of chimps and bonobos. This is information that can be used in a discussion about god's necessity for morality to exist, no it doesn't morality it built in.

    Exactly, the reason we consider some things moral and others immoral is because the behaviours we perceive as being moral are behaviours that are conducive to collaboration and thus, survival. Not only is being kind a virtue, it leads to greater outcomes for all parties involved.

    So, did Indira Gandhi and Golda Meir have the bonobo gene or the chimpanzee gene? Because both of them could go toe to toe with the male politicians in their respective countries.

    The way she talks about how the monkey came to her in her dreams and how she had her own “language” with the monkey makes me not trust her at all. Like half the talk was just her giving anecdotes about how she feels about the monkey, not anything concrete either like that one monkey that actually learned sign language. Smh.
