Bonobo Sex and Society __ "At a juncture in history during which women are seeking equality with men, science arrives with a belated gift to the feminist movement.

In the past few years many strands of knowledge have come together concerning a relatively unknown ape with an unorthodox repertoire of behavior: the bonobo." - From Scientific American - http://songweaver.com/info/bonobos.html
