Fun Fact: Humans are the only known species capable of abstract thinking, allowing them to conceptualize ideas and think in terms of concepts that do not have a physical presence.
Contender 2: Bonobo
The Bonobo, also known as the pygmy chimpanzee, is an endangered species of great ape native to the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa. They are closely related to humans and share 98.7% of their DNA with us. Bonobos are characterized by their slender bodies, long arms, and a short, bushy tail. They have black hair covering a pink face and a prominent forehead. Known for their intelligence and social behavior, these primates are arboreal and mainly spend their time on the ground in large and cohesive groups called communities.
Fun Fact: One fascinating fact about Bonobos is that they are known for their peaceful and loving behavior, which has earned them the nickname "hippie" or "make love, not war" apes. Unlike other primates, Bonobos are less aggressive and resolve conflicts through sexual interactions, displaying a unique form of social bonding and conflict resolution.
