As I return to the east coast, 50 years or so after the 1960s (and its sexual revolutions) and 150 years after Darwin,

I wonder about sexuality as human primates ... and in modernity and the information technology age.

These are some of my current narratives about other great apes, and comparatively especially with humans (and see this blog for other related narratives; I'm not a primatologist, but an anthropologist interested in highest primates closest to us and what we can learn from them)...


Bonobo chimpanzee - very sexual in many many combinations or ways, peaceful/nonharming, matriarchal and egalitarian

Common chimpanzee - have alpha males, have intense aggression between groups that can be lethal, possibly primitive war; Jane Goodall befriended them wonderfully

Orangutan - semi-solitary (very smart)

Gorilla - harems? ... most similar to the modern nuclear family (see Castells in this blog too, sociologically)?

Humans - fluent language users, symbolic, STEM-centric ...

The Hominidae (/hɒˈmɪnᵻdiː/), whose members are known as great apes[note 1] or hominids, are a taxonomic family of primates that includes seven extant species in four genera: Pongo, the Bornean and Sumatran orangutan; Gorilla, the eastern and western gorilla; Pan, the common chimpanzee and the bonobo; and Homo, the human.[1]
