Matriarchy also cruel: War can not be avoided

This is the result of the German zoologist who studied the bonobo, pygmy chimpanzees. As common chimpanzees, bonobos - social animals. There is an interesting difference in the society of the species, if a chimp in a society dominated by men, then bonobos, on the contrary, occupies the position of female managers. For a long time it was believed that because of the peaceful matriarchal bonobo with its neighbors. However, this was not the case, the women of the company not less xenophobia against other monkeys than men, which sometimes comes to cannibalism, set zoologists. It has long been known that physical aggression in chimpanzees with the hunt, eat meat and subcontractors of the men associated in this hunt. The need to combine forces, along with aggressive hunter lead to establishment of a strict hierarchical relationship. This hierarchy must ultimately obey and women. In bonobos system of social relations that. On a different principle Smoothed by promiscuity and free sex and masturbation collective many conflicts, no aggression and develop not expire. The females are more sociable and therefore better together and build relationships with each other and eventually take the initiative in social relations, males pushed into second place. Experts who examined the bonobo population are in the last five years, new facts not known previously opened in their lives. It turned out that these people who have intraspecific aggression, reduced very intolerant of other monkeys. Both males and females actively attack and even eat their enemies. These new views can greatly change our views on the nature of human aggression and the origins of human social relations, reports Science Daily.
