Bonobos are an extremely endangered ape (as few as 10,000 left in the wild), that share 98.7% of our DNA – equal to our more famous cousin, the chimp. Chimpanzees live in a violent, male dominated society with sexual coercion, infanticide, and war. Bonobos, however, are peaceful and female dominated. There is no infanticide or war; and sex is used to resolve conflict. Vanessa Woods is part of the Hominoid Psychology Research Group, which compares the psychology of humans, chimpanzees, and bonobos. Woods won an Acclaimed Book award from the Royal Society for BONOBO HANDSHAKE: A memoir of love and adventure in the Congo. Woods explores the question: How much of us is chimpanzee, and how much is bonobo? |

In his widely acclaimed new book, A Deliberate Pause: Entrepreneurship and its Moment in Human Progress, Larry Robertson argues that “At the starting point of all forward movement, at the nexus of change itself, at the wellspring of human progress, there are always . . . people thinking entrepreneurially.” It is those who pause to ask, “Why are things the way they are?” and “How could they be better?” that lead us to scale seemingly insurmountable barriers. |
