PBS NOVA - The Last Great Ape

"If we humans cannot protect our closest relatives, then we're in really desperate shape." -- Frans de Waal

One of our closest relatives, bonobos look like chimpanzees but they have more peaceful nature and sex plays an important role in their life, they are the "hippies of the primate world" as primatologist Frans de Waal (who also appears in the documentary) stated. Bonobos are matriarchal species, the females are dominant in families, even they share the food with each other to strength their social bonds. The most of these amazing creatures were slaughtered during the civil war in Congo and some experts try to find out the survivors. Check this brilliant film out!
