Female-Dominated Societies Are Violent, Say Anthropologists

Anthropologists havenever directly observeda female person - dominated bon ton among humans , but many have speculate that such societies would be less violent than male - reign one . Now that posit has been challenged by heavy evidence . Bonobos , a primate species that is female person - dominated and bisexual , have been observed repeatedly hunting and killing other ape in the natural state . A group of evolutionary anthropologist will publish a newspaper in Current Biology tomorrow documenting evidence that the supposedly peaceful pygmy chimpanzee are as sanguinary as their male person - dominate chimpanzee counterparts . Evolutionary anthropologist Gottfried Hohmann , a co - author of the study , says this discovery might change how we translate male authority in order :

In Pan troglodytes , male person - dominance is associated with forcible fierceness , hunting , and meat uptake . By inference , the want of male authorization and forcible violence is often used to excuse the relative absence of search and marrow eating in bonobos . Our observations hint that , in line to previous assumption , these behaviors may persist in society with dissimilar societal carnal knowledge .

Now all that awe-inspiring feminist skill fable from the 1970s about woman who fight back like madden weasel has been validated ! Photo byEmmanuelle Grundmann . Primate hunt by bonobos at LuiKotale , Salonga National Park [ derive Oct. 14 inCurrent Biology ]
