So I read up more about the research that bonoboes are 3 times more aggressive than chimps. It is somewhat misleading.

They defined aggression in a very loose way - chasing each other, wrestling, etc. were all aggression. Bonoboes do a lot of this, looking more like siblings rough-housing. (Somehow people think bonoboes act like a bunch of stoned hippies but they are quite physical)

Chimps do not really do much of this. Sometimes, gangs of males beat a weaker chimp to death. They will bully and rape the femalse. This sort of extreme violence was never seen with bonoboes.

So if you define aggression in a certain way, bonoboes are more aggressive. But I’d rather live in ther group than a chimp’s.
