How to use bonobo in a sentence?

1. Martin Kuhlwilm:

   We have absolutely nothing in terms of bonobo fossils, there is one chimp fossil thats been unearthed thats maybe 400,000 years old, but thats basically it for African great apes. By analyzing living apes, we can get information on extinct ape populations that we cant get from ancient DNA, since there are almost no ancient ape fossils.

2. Lucy Cooke:

   What's fascinating about the bonobo, because we're equally related to both bonobos and chimpanzees, is that there's a clear demonstration that dominance has nothing to do with sex. It's all about the environment that an animal finds itself in, there's no norm.
