"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 recognize when humans are ignorant, try to help
Study provides evidence that our relatives have a "theory of mind."
A study found that bonobos can recognize when someone lacks knowledge they possess and take action to help, demonstrating a basic form of theory of mind. This suggests the ability to understand others' perspectives is evolutionarily older than previously thought and may have existed in our common ancestors to enhance cooperation and coordination.

#chimpanzees and #bonobos BOTH use genital rubbing to overcome socials tensions. But is it more males in chimps, females in bonobos?
New Scientist · Chimps and bonobos relieve social tension by rubbing their genitals
Los chimpancés y los bonobos alivian la tensión social frotándose los genitales. El sexo no solo es cuestión de reproducción, sino también de gestión social. Un nuevo estudio revela que bonobos y chimpancés usan el contacto genital para reducir tensiones, una estrategia que podría haber heredado la humanidad de un ancestro común. https://tinyurl.com/278nfhg6

#Bonobos zum Beispiel sind genau das Gegenteil vom #Vladonald_Trumputin. Das Bild ist diskriminierend und #speziesistisch!
Such a worthy cause! #Xiomanyc can be a polarizing figure. Either you like his #videos or you don't. The simple truth is the man has a gift and aptitude for #languages. Up until now though he's mainly focused on homo sapien languages. To attempt to #communicate with #bonobos is truly remarkable! #YouTube #primates #communication #language #video

Bonobos Can Tell When a Human Doesn't Know Something
An experiment shows that bonobos can understand when a human lacks knowledge and point them in the right direction
Some humans aren't capable of that...just sayin'...
