Currently reading Sex at Dawn, and IJust texted this to my friend who suggested it to me:
“‘Genital-genital (G-G) rubbing between female bonobos appears to affirm female bonding, is present in all bonobo populations studied (wild and captive), and is completely absent in chimpanzees. Human data on G-G rubbing are presently unavailable. (Attention: ambitious graduate students!)’
This is an amazing book for both anthropology and comedy!” 🤣
