With a portfolio like this, Dr. Block would seem a worthy asset to any movement she befriended. Maybe it's the fishnet stockings, the Technicolor fingernails, the sprinkle of glitter on moist skin. For example, Dr. Block chose to accessorize herself with a slim riding crop for the videotaping of an, um, dramatic reading of her letter to Laurent Kabila upon his ascension to power in Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a conservation manifesto, Sand County Almanac it ain't. Not until 1929 were they discovered, and that was by somebody huddled over a box of chimpanzee bones in a Belgian museum.
Bonobos live only in the Congo.
Unlike other primates, they have never been seen to murder a fellow bonobo, and females seem to hold the balance of power. Bonobos share some 98 percent of their genetic material with humans, and some geneticists argue that they are our closest living evolutionary kin. Oh yes, as Dr. Block mentioned, they do have lots of sex. Like tantric sex practitioners, or just like two people very much in love, copulating bonobos often look deeply into each other's eyes. Er, anthropomorphizing a lot.
