Bonoboi su pred izumiranjem, tacnije istrebljenjem od strane covjeka!
Najsrodniji covjekov prirodni rodjak je na ivici istrebljenja. Pronadjeni u njihovom maticnom habitatu, u prasumama centralnog Konga, bonoboi su izlozeni stalnom lovu radi hrane i profita. Oni su najugrozeniji i najmalobrojniji od svih vrsta covjekolikih majmuna i niko pouzdano ne zna koliki je broj prezivjelih jedinki. Naime, mnogi ljudi uopste i ne znaju da ova vrsta egzistira sa ostalim covjekolikim majmunima na planeti! Ovi nevjerovatni primati, koji nas toliko podsjecaju na nas same (fizioloski i socijalno-psiholoski), mogu ostati prekriveni misterijom, sto neznanjem sto ljudskim nedjelovanjem!

Bonobos and chimps are our closest cousins among the apes. One sees the reassuring arm around the shoulder, hugging and kissing.
The uncommon social structure, sexual behavior and intellectual capacity of bonobos give us a unique glimpse of the roots of human nature.

Sex, it turned out, is the key to the social life of the bonobo. The first suggestion that the sexual behavior of bonobos is different had come from observations at European zoos. Wrapping their findings in Latin, primatologists Eduard Tratz and Heinz Heck reported in 1954 that the chimpanzees at Hellabrun mated more canum (like dogs) and bonobos more hominum (like people). In those days, face-to- face copulation was considered uniquely human, a cultural innovation that needed to be taught to preliterate people (hence the term "missionary position"). These early studies, written in German, were ignored by the international scientific establishment. The bonobo's humanlike sexuality needed to be rediscovered in the 1970s before it became accepted as characteristic of the species.
Bonobos become sexually aroused remarkably easily, and they express this excitement in a variety of mounting positions and genital contacts. Although chimpanzees virtually never adopt face-to-face positions, bonobos do so in one out of three copulations in the wild. Furthermore, the frontal orientation of the bonobo vulva and clitoris strongly suggest that the female genitalia are adapted for this position.
Another similarity with humans is increased female sexual receptivity. The tumescent phase of the female's genitals, resulting in a pink swelling that signals willingness to mate, covers a much longer part of estrus in bonobos than in chimpanzees. Instead of a few days out of her cycle, the female bonobo is almost continuously sexually attractive and active.
Perhaps the bonobo's most typical sexual pattern, undocumented in any other primate, is genito-genital rubbing (or GG rubbing) between adult females. One female facing another clings with arms and legs to a partner that, standing on both hands and feet, lifts her off the ground. The two females then rub their genital swellings laterally together, emitting grins and squeals that probably reflect orgasmic experiences. (Laboratory experiments on stump- tailed macaques have demonstrated that women are not the only female primates capable of physiological orgasm.)
Male bonobos, too, may engage in pseudocopulation but generally perform a variation. Standing back to back, one male briefly rubs his scrotum against the buttocks of another. They also practice so-called penis-fencing, in which two males hang face to face from a branch while rubbing their erect penises together.
The diversity of erotic contacts in bonobos includes sporadic oral sex, massage of another individual's genitals and intense tongue-kissing. Lest this leave the impression of a pathologically oversexed species, I must add, based on hundreds of hours of watching bonobos, that their sexual activity is rather casual and relaxed. It appears to be a completely natural part of their group life. Like people, bonobos engage in sex only occasionally, not continuously. Furthermore, with the average copulation lasting 13 seconds, sexual contact in bonobos is rather quick by human standards.
That sex is connected to feeding, and even appears to make food sharing possible, has been observed not only in zoos but also in the wild. Nancy Thompson-Handler, then at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, saw bonobos in Zaire's Lomako Forest engage in sex after they had entered trees loaded with ripe figs or when one among them had captured a prey animal, such as a small forest duiker. The flurry of sexual contacts would last for five to 10 minutes, after which the apes would settle down to consume the food.
One explanation for the sexual activity at feeding time could be that excitement over food translates into sexual arousal. This idea may be partly true. Yet another motivation is probably the real cause: competition. There are two reasons to believe sexual activity is the bonobo's answer to avoiding conflict...

ne bih da kvarim temu, niti da se upustamo u diskusiju...samo bih da skrenem paznju na jednu nelogicnost.
Prvo se misionarska poza proglasi za cisto ljudski izum (jer nema dokaza da to nije tako, a i izgleda logicno ?!?!), zatim se nadje izuzetak...i umjesto da se misionarska poza izbaci kao cisto ljudski izum...nadjeni izuzetak se postavi za covjekovog rodjaka.
toliko.
P.S. podrzavam zastitu svih majmuna, cimpanzi, leptirova...

U DR Kongu nema pasa i mačaka na ulicama gradova. U moćnoj rijeci Kongo nema krokodila u blizini gradova. Životinja slična žirafi, okapi, živi jedino u ovoj zemlji veličine Zapadne Evrope, a guravo je i sa njegovim opstankom. Svaki treći stanovnik ima HIV pozitivu. Izbori su krajem juna ili početkom jula 2006.g. Ovi majmuni nemaju šanse da opstanu, ako svijet ne zavrne ruke ratnim zločincima i predsjedniku oceubici koji su na vlasti i koji će biti na izbornim listama. Jedini pošteni političar koji nije uprljao ruke krvlju u genocidnom ratu gdje je stradalo 4 miliona Kongoanaca, Će-Si-Kide, je skinut sa izborne liste iako je imao najveće šanse da pobijedi.

Democratic Republic of Fucking Congo!http://www.monuc.org/Home.aspx?lang=en wrote:Congo rebels kill rare ape, raising survival fears
Reuters
11 jan. 07 - 09.08h
KINSHASA (Reuters) - Congolese rebels have shot and butchered a rare mountain gorilla, raising fears for a klix population that has clung on through years of warfare in central Africa, conservationists said on Wednesday.
Just 700 mountain gorillas survive, more than half of them in Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The east of the country bore the brunt of a 1998-2003 war and humanitarian disaster that has killed some 4 million people.
"In a population this small, every individual counts -- and the loss of a trusting young silverback is tragic on many levels," Ian Redmond, chief consultant for the United Nations Great Apes Survival Project (GRASP), said in a statement.
Adult male gorillas are known as silverbacks because of their grey colouring.
The statement was issued by Nairobi-based conservation group Wildlife Direct which supports gorilla protection efforts in Virunga, Africa's oldest national park and a United Nations World Heritage Site.
Wildlife Direct accused fighters loyal to renegade Congolese general Laurent Nkunda of shooting the silverback last week, and said they ordered a local farmer to help butcher it. Primates and other mammals are prized in parts of Africa as "bush meat".
"The future survival of this species is now under threat, and I fear that this recent attack on the gorillas could signal a wave of such killings if immediate action is not taken to remove Nkunda's and his troops from their habitat," Robert Muir, of the Frankfurt Zoological Society, said in the statement.
Wildlife Direct said the gorilla had been one of a group which were used to humans because of regular trips by tourists before the war broke out. Congo held landmark elections last year, but militia violence continues in eastern areas.
Conservation efforts have helped the mountain gorilla population grow by 14 percent since the war began.
Wildlife Direct said the gorilla was killed just 600 metres (yards) from one of several patrol posts which rangers abandoned in November due to attacks and looting by Nkunda's fighters.
Some 97 rangers have been killed since 1997 protecting Virunga from poachers, it said. The park spans Congo, Rwanda and Uganda and is home to 380 mountain gorillas.
The other population, of 320, is in the nearby Bwindi National Park in Uganda.
