Met een nooit eerder vertoonde video laat primatoloog Isabel Behncke Izquierdo zien hoe de bonobosamenleving leert van voortdurend spelen - alleen, met vrienden, zelfs als een prelude voor seks. Spelen lijkt inderdaad bonobo's manier tot het oplossen van problemen en het vermijden van conflicten. Als het werkt voor onze naaste neven, waarom dan niet voor ons?

TED Fellow Isabel Behncke Izquierdo studies the social behavior (and play behavior in particular) of wild bonobos in DR Congo. Full bio ยป
