        "transcript": "<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This male bonobo chimpanzee may look like a dominant male, but he\u2019s really just a big mama\u2019s boy.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">That\u2019s because in bonobo society, the mamas hold lots of power \u2013 it\u2019s shared between males and females. This alpha female is one of the group\u2019s leaders.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Don\u2019t believe it? Watch how she snap the sapling, and then struts her stuff in a way that would make any dominant male chimpanzee proud. The message is clear. This babe is boss.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">These bossy adult females form strong bonds with their offspring, especially the males. All babies are intimately cared for through the first five years,</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">But eventually, young female bonobos leave the troop and find another troop to accept them.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The sons stay behind, and the one\u2019s with the most powerful mothers become the most privileged males.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Bonobo mothers almost never discipline their young...even when they steal the food right out of mom\u2019s mouth.</p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">The whole clan benefits from this atmosphere of peace, love, good-vibes and huggy tomfoolery. Instead of body-slamming each other when two parties get in a tiff, these more enlightened beasts engage in a tension-diffusing moment of sexual release\u2026 with anyone in close range.<a name=\"_ednref1\"></a></p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">Bonobos are the very embodiment of the phrase \u201cmake love, not war.\u201d</p>",
