Male chimpanzees sometimes have sexual relationships
Jake Brooker / Chimfunshi Wildlife Confidence in Orphan
Some chimpanzees seem to use genital punishment, genital rubbing, to manage stressful situations, that they are not so different that are not the non-hypersexual bonobos.
Jake Brooker At Durham University, in the UK and his colleagues have investigated the sexual behavior of non-human primates Man. Democratic Republic of the Congo and Chimfunshi Wildlife Confidence in Orphan In Zambia. Two sanctuaries is a mixture of wild and captive Mice These are able to walk free and feed.
Researchers 53 Bonobos (Pan Paniscus) Lola ya bonobo and 75 chimpanzees (three groups)Pan troglodytes) At events involved in the events involved in the swing during the two groups of Chimfunshi.
“Bonobos and chimpanzees live in two very complex social structures, with very rich social navigations daily” says Group members Zanna clayEven at Durham University. Prevention of such food events can be stressful when the competition gets food for the first time.
Researchers watched 107 genital contacts in chimpanzees in Bonobos and 201, in five groups in 5 minutes in 5 minutes.
“This is also that the hand or foot also puts another premium anogenital region, and the genitals can also affect each other, Bonobos is very famous,” says Brooker.
Examination also revealed the differences take: “In these situations we found the sexual frequency in women’s bonoboers more common with other women, and it was more common in butterflies between men,” the clay says. Bonobos can be associated with what lives in matriarchal groups, while living in patriarchal chimpanzees, he said.
“Using sex as a sexual tool to explore all kinds of sex has gave a great reputation for bonobos hippiepe, like a kind of hippie ape,” the clay says. “This work shows us that the differences between the two species may not be assumed before. Chimpanzees, although aggressive and violent, has actually been a rich repertoire of behaviors who use their social lives.”
“Butterflies have drawn a short PR straw by comparing Bonobos without a doubt,” says Matilda Brindle At the University of Oxford.
Butterflies use sex as they go beyond reproduction, though different from human sexuality, we have no sex for reproduction, the clay says. For example, Reduce stress People have been given as a reason for sex.
Kit opie In Bristol University, the United Kingdom, he asks the same level of behavior that he would see the same level in the wild settings than the sanctuaries.
It can also illuminate the work in our last ordinary ancestors, who lived about 5 million and 7 million years ago, says humans before the fireplaces and bonobs deviates.
“Given that all three species use sexual behaviors to navigate sex, it is likely that we also share an ordinary ancestor,” says Brindle.
