Bonobos are the closest relative we have out of all mammals. Instead of having a dominant male and being very rude towards the females, these monkeys like to interact with each other and have nice relationship with the females. Usually during mating season monkeys get angrier then normal and there testosterone levels increase dramatically, these monkeys however do not they are still the nice friendly monkey and do not fight one another during this time of usual aggression. This was a test some humans did on these monkeys and they showed no anger or crave for dominance whilst the same test was done on rats and they showed no resistance to try to be dominant.
Impact-These species have shown very human like qualities and if they become anymore human-like they could live, talk, and walk among us.
Critique-These monkeys are awesome cause they are like the peace loving monkeys and they don't really fight.
