It&#8217;s full of amazing stories and photos, including the two I&#8217;ve borrowed for this post. I read the entire thing from start to finish on Wednesday morning and missed my workout&#8230; again. My childhood <a href=\"http:\/\/vwxynot.blogspot.com\/2007\/06\/why-i-got-into-science.html\">dreams<\/a> of field research are reawakened!<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you&#8217;re not familiar with bonobos, the stereotype is that they&#8217;re a less violent, hornier relative of the more familiar chimpanzee. Social co-operation through lots of sex. (If you work with a bunch of prudes you might prefer to read her blog at home.) Unfortunately, I started reading the blog just as the research team left the bonobo sanctuary, but the good news is that they&#8217;re moving on to study chimps (the cute little dudes in the second photo.) Less sex, more fights? <\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_Xjsb8ObOj0k\/Rxix2gZ4SDI\/AAAAAAAAADQ\/A9jAWWUuBQ0\/s1600-h\/chimp+babies.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/_Xjsb8ObOj0k\/Rxix2gZ4SDI\/AAAAAAAAADQ\/A9jAWWUuBQ0\/s200\/chimp+babies.jpg\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_Xjsb8ObOj0k\/RxixfQZ4SBI\/AAAAAAAAADA\/XG5Nk9ztKac\/s1600-h\/chimp+babies.jpg\"><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Primate Party features a gem of a blog that I came across earlier this week.
