"Chimpanzees tend to resolve conflict by using aggression, while bonobos are more likely to use behavioral mechanisms like sex and play to diffuse tension," Rilling says. Compared with chimpanzees, bonobos are more anxious, less aggressive, more socially tolerant, more playful, more sexual and perhaps more empathic. Despite this relatively brief separation in evolutionary terms, the two species exhibit significant differences in social behavior. "By contributing to our basic understanding of how brain anatomy relates to social behavior, this study may provide clues to the brain dysfunction underlying human social behavioral disorders like psychopathy and autism," Rilling says.Ĭhimpanzees and bonobos diverged from a common ancestor with humans about six million years ago, and from each other just one-to-two million years ago. The journal Social Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience published the results, the most comprehensive comparative analysis to date of the neural systems of chimpanzees and bonobos. "The neural circuitry that mediates anxiety, empathy and the inhibition of aggression in humans is better developed in bonobos than in chimpanzees." James's lungs and seeped into his bloody openings."What's remarkable is that the data appears to match what we know about the human brain and behavior," says Emory anthropologist James Rilling, who led the analysis. James's mutilated body down a hill leading away from Moe's cage. As the animal fell to the ground, the younger chimp began dragging St.
Kneeling down, he shot him once in the head from close range. When Carruthers returned, he focused on the older male, the prime aggressor. The shot had no apparent effect, and Carruthers raced back to his house, a few dozen yards away, to reload with more-powerful ammunition. After struggling to find a clean shot, he opened fire on the younger primate. Finally, LaDonna's screams drew the owners' son-in-law, Mark Carruthers, who came running armed with a.
It looked as if they were eating him alive. Blood poured from his body, and LaDonna was screaming. They ravaged his left foot, leaving it shredded. One of the chimps gnawed on his buttocks and bit off his genitals. James fell to the ground, no longer able to defend himself, and for at least five minutes, the mauling continued as he lay helpless. James tried to put one of his hands down the animal's throat, but the chimp just kept chewing on it and chewing on it, and he couldn't get it out. James's mouth, ripping off his lips and most of his teeth. One of the primates sunk his teeth into St. James's face, causing it to flop over and cover his left eye, temporarily blinding him.

In the melee, one of the chimps dug in his claws and ripped the skin off the right side of St. James's nose, biting it off, as the other chimp chewed away at St. The same animal clamped his teeth onto St. One of the animals grabbed him in a bear hug before chomping into the bone above his right eyebrow. With both hands, he pushed the bigger animal. James confronted the chimp, the six-two former running back turned to find a second chimp also a male, this one older and bigger bearing down on him as well.
