Quote by: Winter wind  Love it, or hate it, humans are generally conforming creatures (even so called non-conformist have this bizarre tendency to conform to their own non-conformist friends...). It comes from the old village mentality which if you didn't conform, you were kicked out where you died poor, hungry and lonely. |
Monkeys and apes do exactly the same thing. Chimps and Bonobo have different social organizations. Chimps are male dominated and more aggressive than, Bonobo, which are female dominted and coorperative. Such differences makes it hard to make a blankey statement, but members of these communities who not get along with others, are pushed out. The outcast may be allowed to hang around the fringes of the troop, but occasionally they are forced to separate from the troop completely. Such decisions will depend largely on the leader.
