Adult males play with babies, and everything goes well, which means that he has learned over his lifetime – this is not instinct or something – he has learned over his lifetime how to control his strength. Chimpanzees are one of the most well-studied primates, due to our biases toward studying our closest relatives. Sociosexual behavior in wild chimpanzees occurs in variable contets as is frequent between same-sex partners.
And so that’s the gender side. Basically a sisterhood and that’s how they keep the males in control. Spell check does not recognize 'bonobo' as a word.
HOST: In 1871, Charles Darwin concluded this: “Man is more courageous, pugnacious and energetic than women, and has more inventive genius.” His patriarchal viewpoint reflected the larger perspective of the 19th and 20th century male-dominated discipline of evolutionary science: that evolution created the binary of male and female, and our behavior and nature reflect this biological duality.
That binary has been translated into deeply unequal, cultural, political and legal structures that dictate how we’re supposed to be and act.
The problem is that does not mirror nature’s rich sexual and gender diversity and evolutionary potentials.

Grueter, C., & Stoinski, T.S. (2016). We have the nature vs. The ideologies of Sociobiology and “biological essentialism” have served as justifications to dehumanize, exploit and subjugate people of color, women, and gay and non-binary people.
Western science has also promulgated the centuries-long myth that only humans are capable of intelligence and emotions.
But he does play with gorilla babies. Nevertheless, we are indeed animals. This study highlights that beyond reproduction, sex plays an important role in their societies, and most likely for our early ancestors too.”

However, in Goodall’s 1971 book, In the Shadow of Man, she expressly distanced it from homosexuality.
I think gender—I haven’t talked about it, but I think the gender concept is applicable to other primates. I’m a biologist by training even though I’ve been in the psychology department for 25 years.
HOST: It’s telling that one of the worst slurs you can hurl at someone is to call them an “animal.” As the professor of psychology Nick Haslam observes, yes, we are animals – but we’re animals who like to believe we’re not merely animals.
Of course, he notes, calling someone a snake or a rat or a toad is very different from calling them lion-hearted or eagle-eyed.
In all the primates, the males are dominant over the females. She’s not interested in sex really, and she’s mostly peaceful.
And the last thing I want to say about that is that of the term “gender inequality” that we often use, which is a problem in society, and gender inequality is real and existing, and is more in favor, of course, of males than females, we have focused on the wrong part of the equation.
If you look at alpha males in a chimpanzee society – I’m partly responsible for the use of the word alpha male in politics, because when I wrote Chimpanzee Politics, I used that word. They found that sociosexual behavior, defined as “physical interaction involving contact with the anogenital region except for mating/copulations” was frequent, especially mounting, which occurred in 57% of the 584 instances.
Sex is binary, mostly binary, male and female. Two bonobo females having sex looks very different than two female albatrosses sitting placidly on their nest. At a zoo in London, they threw 100 baboons together and in the wrong sex ratio. One instance he cites is Donna, a chimpanzee female who looks and acts decidedly masculine.
FdW: She had female genitalia.
