- poidh, on 10/13/2008, -1/+6No they won't, because they don't want anyone to damn them all to hell.
- tsp00n, on 10/13/2008, -1/+10you maniacs, you blew it up, damn you ! damn you all to hell !
- aolshove, on 10/13/2008, -0/+5That's not the statue of liberty... it's Mega-Maid!
- willterminus, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Oh, *****. There goes the planet.
- lex0nyc, on 10/13/2008, -0/+2"She's French."
- graemee, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU FILTHY APE!
- SirFink, on 10/14/2008, -0/+0You blew it up!!!!
- noupsell, on 10/13/2008, -2/+28well then that finally explains my ex wife's behavior
- hansk, on 10/13/2008, -0/+26you married a Bonobo?!
- noupsell, on 10/18/2008, -0/+2hey it was 2am and she was sitting at the end of the branch
- syphern, on 10/13/2008, -2/+3hes a FREAK!
- Skooma714, on 10/13/2008, -1/+2Nah, she was just a woman.
- ell0bo, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2We all know marriage is most sacred between a man and a Bonobo. Jesus will forgive you for your divorce in time.
- hansk, on 10/13/2008, -0/+26you married a Bonobo?!
- stonebear, on 10/13/2008, -5/+12Not clear in the article whether they are hunting simians or primates. I think it's actually simians they hunt; them hunting other chimps and gorillas for meat doesn't make sense.
- poidh, on 10/13/2008, -1/+13It makes perfect sense. They eliminate potential competition and get fed at the same time.
- AgincourtDB, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3There's a scene in "Planet Earth" where a group of chimps go on a 'raid' of another group of chimps, scaring them off, and they catch, kill and eat one of the young ones. The raid itself isn't not for food, of course, but to remove the competition for area resources.
- evil-doer, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2im not sure what youre asking, it says monkeys. a monkey is both a simian and a primate, as are apes, and humans for that fact.
are you confusing the word primate for ape?- stonebear, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Yes, I was. Thanks.
- MacBookForMe, on 10/13/2008, -12/+5Still, they cannot come even close to human deeds:)
- gwyrth, on 10/13/2008, -1/+5well, they can write and make fire...give them time.
- SolubleFish, on 10/13/2008, -3/+13Dial M for Monkey
- MadCatter, on 10/13/2008, -0/+3Turtle. Not on same album, but still great.
- leerayIG88, on 10/13/2008, -2/+8Not only they kill the monkeys, they eat them. I saw this on Discovery channel two days ago.
- xL0Sx, on 10/13/2008, -1/+63Aren't Bonobos the ones that jerk off and give each other BJs for fun too?
- barryiggins, on 10/13/2008, -3/+47humans do that too
- DaviDTC, on 10/13/2008, -0/+9That is why they are closely related.
- Velnich, on 10/13/2008, -0/+5Not nearly enough imo.
- megaton, on 10/13/2008, -0/+4Bonobos do it to their own family, though. When was the last time you gave your dad a handjob?
- positron, on 10/14/2008, -1/+4"Bonobos do it to their own family, though."
So did the ancient Egyptians.
- bicyclethief, on 10/13/2008, -1/+29Senators do that too
- bitterbug, on 10/13/2008, -0/+11If bonobos had bathroom stalls they'd be making hand signals under the walls too.
- Devilboy666, on 10/13/2008, -1/+40Yes, Bonobos have sex for recreation. Bonobos are awesome.

- patondeez, on 10/13/2008, -0/+7devilboy, that is probably the coolest thing I have ever found on digg. i just finished a biology major and i love this stuff...
that made my week - BaoUnit, on 10/14/2008, -0/+6Dude, a bonobo was ***** playing pacman. Cheers mate, that made my day as well!
- kanabiis, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Thanks for sharing that link... truly amazing work....
- Brododium, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1I'm going to chip in my bit, thanks so much for that link, Devilboy, it was amazingly enlightening!
- stillasleep00, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1Saw that a while ago, the comment that they're some of the gentlest primates made me a bit apprehensive to this article. Great stuff
- VitriolAndAngst, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Yeah, they are the horniest animals in the entire world.
The theory was that they use sexual competition and had removed most of the needs for violence, since in their ecosystem food is plentiful.
This throws a big wrinkle in that theory -- but it still is not as big a deal as if they hunted other Bonobos.
No, they just have orgies and let the little tadpoles fight it out. - acidwinter, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1dugg for slut monkies
- barryiggins, on 10/13/2008, -3/+47humans do that too
- dhughes, on 10/13/2008, -5/+5 ...and probably rape them first.
- r1y23, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2Nah they go and get aids first, then they rape them.

- Kumah, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Not only do they hunt for other animals... they eat them alive. O.O
- alexkim804, on 10/13/2008, -1/+3this story scares me a little.
- ivansusanin, on 10/13/2008, -3/+2http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mgl22q1pQ78&feature ...
- johnnyliteral, on 10/13/2008, -5/+15This is another one of those "BREAKING: Scientists Discover Something We All Already Know" stories. Bonobos and chimps have ALWAYS beat the ***** out of each other. Mainly so they can use it as projectiles.
- nedzeve, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3Actually, you are exactly WRONG.
The conventional wisdom has long held that Bonobos are DIFFERENT than other apes in that they have been considered peaceful. This article indicates a recent study stating otherwise. - johnnyliteral, on 10/14/2008, -2/+2Oh yeah? Well I recently studied your mom.
- nedzeve, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3Actually, you are exactly WRONG.
- ktervalon, on 10/13/2008, -3/+6These animals have sex just to say hi, its fair that they'll pretty much do anything else that's a little out of the norm.
http://scienceblogs.com/bushwells/bonobo.jpg- syphern, on 10/13/2008, -1/+2Just fapping away dont mind me...
- Junior612, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Monkey style?
- cruik, on 10/13/2008, -2/+3promiscuity and murder? Nail in the coffin for creationism.
- Vic333, on 10/13/2008, -1/+1Yes, they need to be added to the list.
Proof #1026 that Creationism is stupid: Bonobos - empiric, on 10/13/2008, -1/+1What? Since when does "creationism" state that animals don't kill each other?
Flying spaghetti-eating or otherwise. I expect creationists would simply acknowledge placing you in the category you insist on, and have no inferential choice about based on your worldview.- cruik, on 10/13/2008, -2/+0I was kidding, of course animals kill eachother, its just being promiscuous and bumping one another off are things we think are purely human traits. I was just talking about a missing link sorta thing. And I know bonobos don't debunk creationism. Category I insist on? my worldview? These sentences don't make any sense. Don't try to confuse me by throwing in inferential because I know what it means and where it should be used...(not in the above comment) I wasn't making a scientific statement but if you want to go there I'd be more than happy to oblige.
- empiric, on 10/13/2008, -1/+0Oh... okay then... in that case, shhhh. ;)

- NecroDigg, on 10/13/2008, -2/+2The more I hear about Bonobos, the more I like them. (These are the same monkeys that have excessive amounts of sex)
- sockpuppets, on 10/13/2008, -3/+2Dictionary:
bonobo
(bə-nō'bō) pronunciation
n., pl. -bos.
An anthropoid ape (Pan paniscus) of north-central Congo (formerly Zaire), that is half man, half Bono and half Obi Wan Kenobi. (P. troglodytes). Also called pygmy chimpanzee.
[Of central African origin.] - humanerror, on 10/13/2008, -1/+18Bonobos hunt and kill other primates.
Speaking as an other primate, this news disturbs me.- dollar0dot02, on 10/13/2008, -0/+2Good news: they do not hunt great apes.
- humanerror, on 10/13/2008, -0/+5What about Pretty Good apes?
- sanguinekane, on 10/14/2008, -1/+1Or Grape Ape?
- dollar0dot02, on 10/13/2008, -0/+2Good news: they do not hunt great apes.
- petebot, on 10/13/2008, -8/+2Hey! Aren't bonobos the ones that have lots of sex?
/s- roguephon, on 10/13/2008, -2/+1Yeah, and it lasts like 10 seconds each time.
- bitterbug, on 10/13/2008, -1/+6So they're digg users too?
- roguephon, on 10/13/2008, -2/+1Yeah, and it lasts like 10 seconds each time.
- oo7evan, on 10/13/2008, -3/+1More proof of evolution.
- Lula87, on 10/13/2008, -0/+17It I had a pet Bonobo I'd name it Bobono.
And I'd use it as secret assassin to kill everyone else's monkeys.- AndersenWatcher, on 10/13/2008, -0/+5Dugg up for giving me fair warning. Not very ninjalike, but good of you nonetheless.
- facepalmjpg, on 10/13/2008, -1/+1It's only a matter of time before they're sporting American-bought weapons and invading neighboring trees, or fields, or wherever the ***** monkeys live.
- Trekhawk, on 10/13/2008, -0/+7Damn Nature, you scary!
- paradox4190, on 10/13/2008, -0/+31I wonder what video games they played to be so violent.
- KaseyCarbone, on 10/13/2008, -0/+7I'm sure Joe Leiberman is on the case.
- willterminus, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1All they played was a game of Ms.Pac Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh8gfIcjQNY

Oh Bonobos you freaky little sex toys. I have a pack of them in my basement dungeon. - KaseyCarbone, on 10/13/2008, -1/+4"Chimpanzees are known to form bands to hunt and kill other monkeys." Scientific fail in the first sentence. Chimps are apes, not monkeys.
Be careful when you edit the article text, which was correct! - pimpofpixels, on 10/13/2008, -1/+3Humans hunt and Kill other primates.
- EdwardMass, on 10/13/2008, -2/+1YOU DAMN DIRTY APES!
- username7410, on 10/13/2008, -1/+4Video games are to blame.
- willterminus, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1its true http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rh8gfIcjQNY
- shampoozleberry, on 10/13/2008, -1/+18Aww I saw an article about bonobos and got excited for a good laugh, but it barely touched on all the funny things bonobos do, namely binging on alcoholic fruits and having endless orgies at the base of the fruit tree they just demolished....God I wish I was a bonobo.
- avaugha4, on 10/13/2008, -0/+7This doesn't change a whole lot, unless they are killing other Bonobos. Interspecies hunting, whether it is for primates or antelope doesn't make a difference. Bonobos won't make the distinction, they just know its not a bonobo. Chimps and Baboons do conduct intraspecies hunting and killing. So far the research shows that Bonobos in the wild do not.
- aComa, on 10/13/2008, -1/+1These Bonobos need to quit monkeying around...
- TheGrizah, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Aren't these the most "human" like primates? Its not surprising.
- niner9, on 10/13/2008, -0/+3Terminator 4: Rise of the Bonobos
- AndersenWatcher, on 10/13/2008, -0/+7"...The scientists announced their findings after watching the Discovery Chanel all Sunday afternoon. Said one researcher: 'Watching bonobos kill stuff in HD is nothing short of amazing. You can even see the individual monkey hairs.'"
- Badoozie, on 10/13/2008, -1/+2I assume Bush is currently preparing to bomb the Bonobos based on this development.
RUN YOU SLUTTY BONOBOS RUN!!!! - GeorgeTirebiter, on 10/13/2008, -0/+0Hmmm. I wonder if a few of these could get rid of the boom car gang bangers in my neighborhood?
- LJRod82, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1Well it's apparent these guys know the pleasures of a monkey knife fight. Furious George!
- IHaveCrayons, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1I always thought this was already known. When I took anthropology about two years ago there was actually videos of bonobos killing and eating other primates.
- HeyArnold, on 10/13/2008, -0/+1not too long until they hunt the most dangerous game of them all... MAAN!
- Wittyfish, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Wait... arent't human beings primates?... OH CRAP!
- nedzeve, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1Some humans hunt and kill other primates (including humans). That's not new.
- acliffhang3r, on 10/14/2008, -2/+1OMG! the bonobos are having gay sex and killing other species! Proof that gay sex leads them to do no good.
Social "scientists" support homosexuality in humans by citing its prevalence in non-human species such as bonobos, So I guess its completely alright for human beings to kill non-human species for food. Suck it you veggie libtards. - Charlesbian, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1as someone previously pointed out with the link to the ted talk, bonobos are incredibly similar to humans in many ways. they can perform basic language, understand a reflection is an image of their self, have sex face to face, etc. They even can manipulate fire (although full out creating it is still out of their reach)
- depro9, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3I'm glad humans have evolved beyond this primitive barbaric activity.
- Technoviking, on 10/14/2008, -3/+2I bet if they gave a bonobo an IQ test it would outscore George W. Bush.
- ousthouse, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1Something I didn't know turns out to be wrong. It's a good thing I didn't know it in the first place. SUCKERS!
