So, now that this study just came out after years of smug feminists saying "Well, bonobos are humans' closest relatives and they are female-ruled, so by your logic, that's how humans should naturally live, checkmate rightist misogynists," I wonder how they will react to this?
Oh, no. Does this mean that female social power doesn't necessarily lead to a peaceful society?
Of course.
That said, despite all the differences, one thing, and nobody here will be surprised what specifically, was unchanged among both species:
It doesn't matter how your society is run, it doesn't matter if females have social power or not, in the end, the strong Chad bully always wins, kicks your ass and goes to fuck the Stacy who would never so much as look at you. That's how it is with humanity's closest relatives, that's one of the things the two species genetically closest to us have in common, yet you are considered to be a "crazy misogynist" if you say that maybe, just maybe, the same is the case with humans as well.
That said, the different social structures between those two species do have effects other than that:
So, basically, bonobo males fight each other for female approval much more often than chimpanzees, and in turn, they are more likely to be targets of female aggression than chimps, while being less likely to attack females instead, their aggression is much more focused on other males. Truly a society built to please females. Chads enthusiastically beating up lower-status and weaker males while not attacking females much.
Interesting. Yet another stat showing just how much of bonobo aggression is about males randomly fighting other males for access to females, while chimpanzee violence tends to be more organized, if I understand this right.
Bonobos not the peace-loving primates once thought, study reveals
Male-on-male aggression more frequent among bonobos than chimps, but aggression between males and females less common
www.theguardian.com
Bonobos and chimpanzees are humans’ closing living relatives. While chimpanzees are known to show aggression against each other – sometimes to the point of death – bonobos have long been thought to live more harmoniously, with no known killings. The difference has led to the theory that natural selection works against aggression in male bonobos.
Now research has turned the idea on its head, revealing that bonobos show higher rates of male-on-male aggression than chimpanzees – even when researchers looked specifically at cases where the males came to blows.
Oh, no. Does this mean that female social power doesn't necessarily lead to a peaceful society?
Of course.
Mouginot and colleagues describe how they followed 12 male bonobos across three communities at the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and 14 male chimpanzees across two communities at Gombe national park in Tanzania.
Overall, the team recorded 521 aggressive interactions involving tracked bonobos over 2,047 hours, and 654 aggressive interactions among the identified chimpanzees over 7,309 hours.
The team say that despite previous studies finding chimpanzees show more severe aggression – such as killings, infanticide and sexual coercion – the results reveal aggressive acts between males were 2.8 times more frequent in bonobos than in chimpanzees, with acts involving physical contact specifically found to be 3.0 times more frequent.
That said, despite all the differences, one thing, and nobody here will be surprised what specifically, was unchanged among both species:
For both species, more aggressive males had greater success in mating with females.

Yet, while not quite the model of gentlemanly chivalry, male bonobos treated females differently to chimpanzees: the team found male-on-female aggression was less common, and female-on-male aggression more common, in the former than the latter – something the team put down to female bonobos often outranking males in the social group.
“We know from the literature that, for example, male and female [bonobos] form a close association … and we do not observe that in chimpanzees,” said Mouginot, noting that humans, too, form such associations.
So, basically, bonobo males fight each other for female approval much more often than chimpanzees, and in turn, they are more likely to be targets of female aggression than chimps, while being less likely to attack females instead, their aggression is much more focused on other males. Truly a society built to please females. Chads enthusiastically beating up lower-status and weaker males while not attacking females much.
The researchers add that while only 1% of aggressive acts among male bonobos involved the primates teaming up, the figure was 13% in chimpanzees – a finding that may explain the lower frequency of aggression in chimpanzees.
“It’s just more risky because of course if you have several individuals against you, you might be completely beat up,” Mouginot said.
