#Bonobos may combine #words in ways previously thought unique to humans - #TheGuardian
"Yelps – thought to mean “let’s do that” – followed by grunts – thought to mean “look at what I am doing”, were combined to make “yelp-grunt”, which appeared to mean “let’s do what I’m doing”. The combination, the team said, reflected the sum of its parts and was used by bonobos to encourage others to build their night nests."
#Bonobos are one of our closest living relatives Intelligent, sensitive and complex they are endangered by #palmoil #meat #deforestation and #poaching. Help them survive, be #vegan

"Kanzi has died at the age of 44. The iconic bonobo reshaped our understanding of ape intelligence, challenging long-held beliefs about what separates humans from our closest living relatives.
(. . .)
Koko the gorilla and Washoe the chimp communicated via sign language, but Kanzi took communication to a new level, demonstrating a profound capacity to communicate via symbols and comprehend verbal English.
(. . .)
Famously, Kanzi was also a gamer. I first learned of Kanzi in 2006 when I spotted a bootlegged NHK Youtube video showing a bonobo playing Pac-Man with both proficiency and delight. I corresponded with Savage-Rumbaugh about the video, and she told me: 'This film is so compelling and there is so much of it (over 300 hours) in so many different natural circumstances, that any thought that these clips represent anything other than their real competencies, become unreasonable.'"

#Bonobos zum Beispiel sind genau das Gegenteil vom #Vladonald_Trumputin. Das Bild ist diskriminierend und #speziesistisch!
#Bonobos recognize when humans are ignorant, try to help - https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/02/bonobos-know-when-youre-clueless/ " Study provides evidence that our relatives have a "theory of mind." " hardly a surprise, these are intelligent creatures
#Regenwald.org #Gorillas, #Bonobos, #Okapi - die Demokratische Republik #Kongo ist eines der Länder mit der größten #Artenvielfalt der Welt. Viele Einheimische kämpfen für #Naturschutz und #Menschenrechte. In der Folge werden sie schikaniert und strafrechtlich verfolgt. Im Osten des Kongo haben Rebellen der #M23 die Stadt #Goma eingenommen. https://www.regenwald.org/petitionen/1299/kongos-waelder-werden-abgeholzt-schuetzt-die-naturschuetzer
If there is a lot of honey in the pot, someone will try to leverage it against fairness.
What if we spread the honey around?

Bringt uns materiell-energetischer Überfluss automatisch Frieden?
Ich kannte nur die These von der genetischen Verwandtschaft mit den #Gorillas, die auch Artgenossen töten können, und den #Bonobos, die soziale Konflikte mit Sex lösen ... - gab ein spanisches Buch zur #Bisexualität dazu, war wohl nur selbst verlegt ... auch bei mir verlegt ... ;-) ... oder verliehen?
As Express was circling the drain, its #CEO secretly took home $1 million in perks
#Express, which also operates #Bonobos and #UpWest , filed for Chapter 11 in the spring, after years of declining sales and insurmountable challenges from fast-fashion giants like Zara.
