5. Notes

5.1 "There's always friction with Karl," said one Bush adviser, who asked not to be named because he did not want to be seen as criticizing Mr. Rove. "But some of it is because of the difference of their jobs. Karen's job is to articulate the message, and Karl's job is to cater and pander to the base. Karl is trying to work in the Grover Norquist and Ralph Reed message, and Karen is listening to the soccer moms." http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/28/politics/campaign/28HUGHES.html

5.2 Females continually have a sexual swelling. They, like humans and unlike any other non-human primate, do not have an estrus cycle. Humans and Bonobos share between 99 and 99.6% of their genetic makeup. Their lack of agressiveness and excitability (quite unlike chimpanzees) is thought to perhaps be more similar to the first humans. There is also growing evidence that bonobos may be as different from chimpanzees as chimps are to gorillas. Group Size: 50-200, usually groups of 6-15 for foraging. Fission-fusion grouping with multiple males and females. Foraging groups are also made up of males and females. Females are more likely to leave their natal group than males, who stay in their mother's group. Groups tend to be more stable than those of P. troglodytes, perhaps due to plentiful food sources. There are also more male-female interactions outside of mating(grooming), and less aggressiveness. Behavior: Diurnal, arboreal, and terrestrial. Sleep in nests built in trees. Limited tool use. Male and female dominance hierarchies, however the alpha female is dominant over the alpha male, unlike any other great ape. Bonobos are highly "promiscuous", often engaging in sexual behaviors outside of that for reproduction. This is thought to be one of the main reasons that bonobos are so infrequently aggresive as the sexual interactions reduces tensions. Mating postures include face to face and dorsoventral as well as others. There is also a large occurence of female-female genital (G-G) rubbing throught the age groups, again including face-to-face positions. The only aparent sexual "taboo" being mothers mating with their mature sons. [Ref.: BONOBO: the Forgotten Ape by Frans de Waal and Frans Lanting]

5.3 Interesting article on Eritrian women during and after 30-year war of independence against Ethiopia. During war 30% of soldiers were women with power. Now after war it is back to subservience, female circumcision, no rights or power. Article states that nearly 90% of Eritrian women undergo clitorectomy. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A48191-2004Apr3.html

5.4 "Men, Monkeys And Mayhem" is a review by Daniel Pinchbeck in the Washington Post, Sunday, November 17, 1996 of the book DEMONIC MALES: Apes and the Origins of Human Violence By Richard Wrangham and Dale Peterson (Houghton Mifflin. 350 pp. $24.95)
