The ChimpanzeeĬhimpanzees are male dominant, with intense aggression between different groups that can be lethal. In the wild, they have not been seen to cooperatively hunt, use tools, or exhibit lethal aggression. The Bonoboīonobos are female dominant, with females forming tight bonds against males through same-sex socio-sexual contact that is thought to limit aggression. Here are 4 physical differences you can use to tell. Whats the Difference between a Bonobo and a Chimp Bonobos and chimps are distinct species but similar in appearance. Bonobos and chimpanzees diverged from each other < 1 million years ago and differ significantly in morphology, behavior, emotions and cognition. 'Adolescent chimpanzees were more willing to make that gamble,' Rosati says. Drawing on decades of research and fieldwork, de Waal describes how chimps and bonobos, who on the surface look quite similar, are behaviorally polar opposites: Chimpanzees are male-dominated. Bonobos and Chimps: How they got separated on 2 sides of the Congo River and became so different, even though they have so much in common. Diet Chimp attacks Family groups Habitat Conservation status Famous chimpanzees Additional resources Chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ), also known as chimps, are one of our closest living. Our two closest relatives are also different from each otherĮven though the two species are equally related to humans, the two species differ from each other in important ways that can help us understand our own species evolution. Surprise! Even though they appear to be more similar to gorillas they are more closely related to us. How can humans have two closest relatives? Similar to how two aunts or cousins are different from one another but equal in their genetic relation to you.īonobos and Chimpanzees both share close to 98% of their genome in common with humans, meaning that their genomes are more similar to that of humans than they are to that of gorillas. Their society is also differentbonobo groups tend to be more peaceful and are led by females. Bonobos are usually a bit smaller, leaner, and darker than chimpanzees. Our Two Closest Relatives Bonobos and Chimpanzees are BOTH our closest relativesīoth species are members of the "chimpanzee" genus Pan and both represent our species closest living relative. Bonobos and chimpanzees look very similar and both share 98.7 of their DNA with humansmaking the two species our closest living relatives.
