Bonobos are so much nicer primates than humans.

They do seem to have lots of sex and very little conflict.... yeah sounds like the life for me....

There appears to be a real downside to domestication:

1) "The bonobo is less aggressive than the chimp, with a smaller skull and shorter canine teeth."

2) "In the 1950s Belyaev started raising wild silver foxes in captivity and breeding those that were least aggressive toward their human handlers. Within just 20 generations, he had created the fox equivalent of our domestic pooches. Instead of snarling when humans approached, they wagged their tails. At the same time, their ears became floppier, tails curlier and skulls smaller."


It seems to me that aggression may make our brains larger (and smarter: iron sharpens iron)...then again if we want a utopian society, domestication is the way to go
