They are considered our closest living ancestors. Take a look...what do you see? ....I see a bit of people in there.

Apparently they shag an awful lot as well !! More proof of our closeness. I'm not sure if they can use the same size condom as us though.

I agree Bono does kind of look like a monkey, but I think Edge is has more primate qualities. Maybe it's the beanie?

I think it's the look of intelligence and emotion they emit in their eyes.

Not only do they like sex, they apparently like a variety of sex.

" Bonobos lubricate the gears of social harmony with sex, in all possible permutations and combinations: males with females, males with males, females with females, and even infants with adults. The sexual acts include intercourse, genital-to-genital rubbing, oral sex, mutual masturbation and even a practice that people once thought they had a patent on: French kissing.

Bonobos use sex to appease, to bond, to make up after a fight, to ease tensions, to cement alliances. Humans generally wait until after a nice meal to make love; bonobos do it beforehand, to alleviate the stress and competitiveness often seen among animals when they encounter a source of food. "

They walk upright, and care for their young until the age of 5.
