🦧 New study on #bonobo #SocialBehavior: Arias-Vélez et al. show that #bonobos actively intervene in #SocialInteractions to enforce group norms and reduce conflict. Rather than reacting only to direct threats, bystanders often stepped in during socially disruptive situations, suggesting a form of third-party social regulation resembling proto-norm enforcement.

"Evidence for representation of pretend objects by Kanzi, a language-trained bonobo
Classic childhood activities like tea parties and sword fights with sticks demonstrate the human ability to generate secondary representations, conditions we know aren’t 'real' but that we nonetheless engage with. Whether nonhuman animals are capable of these types of representations has been difficult to test. Bastos and Krupenye studied a language-trained bonobo, Kanzi, to see whether he could understand and engage with pretend conditions. Across three different experiments, Kanzi was able to identify pretend objects, demonstrating that he could create a secondary representation and showing that humans are not alone in this ability.
Secondary representations enable our minds to depart from the here-and-now and generate imaginary, hypothetical, or alternate possibilities that are decoupled from reality, supporting many of our richest cognitive capacities such as mental-state attribution, simulation of possible futures, and pretense. We present experimental evidence that a nonhuman primate can represent pretend objects. Kanzi, a lexigram-trained bonobo, correctly identified the location of pretend objects (e.g., ‘juice' poured between empty containers), in response to verbal prompts in scaffolded pretense interactions. Across three experiments, we conceptually replicated this finding and excluded key alternative explanations. Our findings suggest that the capacity to form secondary representations of pretend objects is within the cognitive potential of, at least, an enculturated ape and likely dates back 6 to 9 million years, to our common evolutionary ancestors."

#bonobos #chimpanzees #gender #aggression
"Despite their contrasting reputations, bonobos and chimpanzees show similar levels of aggression in zoos.
Chimpanzees have a reputation for being aggressive, while bonobos are often seen as their peaceful counterparts. This contrast has frequently been used to explain different sides of human nature. However, a new study by Utrecht University behavioural biologists Emile Bryon, Edwin van Leeuwen, Tom Roth and international colleagues shows that, in zoos, chimpanzees are not more aggressive than bonobos. The study was published today in the scientific journal *Science Advances*.
The team of researchers compared the occurrence of aggressive behaviours in 22 zoo-housed groups of chimpanzees and bonobos. While no difference was found in overall aggression, the team did find that the two sister species differ in how the aggression is distributed. Bryon: 'In chimpanzees, aggression mainly comes from males and is directed at everyone. In bonobos, aggression comes from everyone but is mostly directed at males.'”

"Humans may not be the only primates with the power to imagine. During a make-believe tea party, a bonobo named Kanzi kept track of invisible juice and imaginary grapes, researchers report February 5 in Science."

🐒🤝 Researchers have found that #bonobos are surprisingly willing to help out other bonobos they’ve never met before.
The behavior suggests that the roots of human-like cooperation might be even deeper in our evolutionary #history than we realized.

Humanity in 2026: still finding new ways to hate each other over borders, politics, and parking spots.
Bonobos (sharing 98.7% of our DNA): We solved it. No in-group killing. We hug, groom, and de-escalate with affection. Common threat? We bond harder.
Nature gave us two primate models. We chose the evil one.
We're the disappointing cousins. -

Um zu ihrem Schutz beizutragen, unterstützen wir seit mehreren Jahren die Organisation BonoboAlive.

💋🐵 Researchers from the University of #Oxford analyzed kissing across multiple species to create an evolutionary family tree. Their study found that mouth-on-mouth contact likely originated in large #apes over 21 million years ago, with evidence that #Neanderthals and modern #humans also kissed and may have even kissed each other.

A recently published study on Kanzi the bonobo found that he was able to track the location of people familiar to him, even when they were out of sight and could recognize the individual voices of his caretakers, a skill that has never before been tested in bonobos.
Similar abilities to track groupmates have been observed in vervet and howler monkeys, but only one other great ape is known to share the bonobos’ tracking ability: humans.

Forschende (u.a. der #UniLeipzig) haben ein bestehendes Kodiersystem für menschliche #Mimik so angepasst, dass sich auch die #Gesichtsausdrücke von #Bonobos analysieren lassen. Ihre Forschungsergebnisse bestätigen, dass die Affen über ein Repertoire von 28 verschiedenen Gesichtsbewegungen verfügen, die durch 22 spezifische Muskelbewegungen verursacht werden. Dadurch kann man besser verstehen, wie diese #Menschenaffen miteinander kommunizieren.
