Bonobo Handshake

Bonobo Handshake

Bonobo Handshake by Vannessa Woods was on my must-read list since I first heard about it.

I’ve known about bonobos since 1984 (or earlier). If chimpanzees represent the Dark Side of humanity, Bonobos represent the Light. They are amazing creatures.

The book is amazing, too, not only for its honesty but for its ability to blend exploration of humanity growth and tragedy with the investigation into the bonobos.

I do hope Ms. Woods writes more!
