Let's say intelligence is your ability to compose poetry, symphonies, do art, math and science. Chimps can't do any of that, yet we share 99 percent DNA. Everything that we are, that distinguishes us from chimps, emerges from that one-percent difference.

Chimps cannot tell us anything about peaceful relations, because chimps have only different degrees of hostility between communities. Whereas bonobos do tell us something; they tell us about the possibility of having peaceful relationships.

It's important to remember that we evolved. Now, I know that's a dirty word for some people, but we evolved from common ancestors with the gorillas, the chimpanzee and also the bonobos. We have a common past, and we have a common future.

It was because the chimps are so eye-catching, so like us and teach us so much that my work was recognised worldwide.

In fact, humans have less variation genetically than chimpanzees.

Chimpanzees are found in the wild, often in jungles or woodland areas, not urban settings.

Natural Habitat

Chimpanzees are wild animals, thus referencing them as pets or domesticated animals is incorrect.

Not Pets

When describing chimpanzees, it's insightful to mention their complex emotions and social bonds.

Emotional Creatures

 have studied chimpanzees intensively for decades. We know the extraordinary cognitive capabilities that they have, and they also resemble the kind that human beings have. And so we chose chimpanzees, and we began to then canvass the world to find the experts in chimpanzee cognition.
