and bonobos, chimpanzee’s closest relatives have found evolutionary strategies that work without wars. we have changed our ways of eating and living before, we can again. all we need, as a society, is the imagination to remake ourselves as we have before
um… sorry but no, bonobos are as prone to extreme violence as any other chimps. They’ve even been seen to form groups and beat to death problematic (or in one case just unpopular) members of the community.
Primates also have territories, and chimps, one of our closest relatives, have wars over them.
And they’re so much smarter than us, we saw no reason to change such a winning strategy.
As a whole, humanity is still just a bunch of angry apes.

We have so much extra food we don’t even really need to change much.
There is a study from 2024 that says bonobo chimpanzees can be even more agressive than Gombe chimpanzees
