Bonobos are morphologically different from Chimpanzees (splitting away about 1 million yrs ago) bcoz they live in matriarchal systems. Bonobos use sex to keep peace & homosexual acts between females are common. They use these strong bonds to maintain social dominance over males.
Bonobos observed in the wild also do not aggressively patrol their borders like chimpanzees & sometimes mating across different community lines occur. Chimpanzees societies are ruled by Male chimps & is where only one alpha male gets to mate with the females. (
