The Other Great Ape
Many people think that there are only 3 great apes. The chimpanzee , gorilla , and orangutan , but scientists have proven that there is a fourth great ape , the pygmy chimpanzee also known as a bonobo and this is the story of bonobos the forgotten ape , our ancestors.

The Life of Bonobos
Bonobos eat many things including termites , other bugs , and fruit [like bananas]. In their world the female is more superior than the male. The female teaches her young the "bare necessities" of life. The male however is very playful like the female. Bonobos are very peaceful and never EVER kill. This is why they are a symbol of peace. Our ancestors have lived in the Democratic Republic of Congo only , which is a country in the wonderful Africa. Bonobos are not the only ape we evolved from we also evolved from chimpanzees and gorillas and little orangutan[mostly Asians]. Now let's

learn about these animals more. Anyway back to the life of bonobos. Scientists believe that the reason that the reason they live in harmony is because they have all the south of the Congo river but the chimps have to share with gorillas the north of the river. Probably there is another reason. Bonobos live for about 40 years and their lifespan in the wildlife is unknown. Bonobos are endangered and have a wildlife park in Kinshasa of the Congo. Congo has also given away some bonobos to other zoos. Scientists believe that humans evolved from chimps and pygmy chimps[bonobos]. Then why are there white people in the world and mixed people? If you are wandering why I will tell.

If you ever want to call a bonobo by its binomial name it is Pan Paniscus. Another thing bonobos do is sleep like us.

Us bonobos like to sleep.

EVERYONE IS FROM AFRICA
Now many people say WHAT I'm from Brazil or I'm from China or etc. but let me show you how this theory works. First of all bonobos , chimpanzees , and gorillas are found in Africa. Sure the orangutan is from Asia but some people are only a LITTLE bit related to orangutans but also the other three. Now humans have mostly evolved from Chimps and Bonobos to human.

Those humans at the time were called Neanderthals or cave men , but for some reason either gave birth to two regular humans and became extinct and those humans gave birth to more humans , or when the cave men became extinct God probably made more and more humans to start off. Either way my point is that if you're white or mixed [not trying to be racist] you have roots from Africa. Mostly the Central African countries like Congo and Ethiopia. But some roots are from the northern and southern and east and western countries like Somalia. So be proud that God created Africa.

Sifa mungu kwa Africa
[Praise God for Africa]

How it All Makes Sense
Now if you are a Christian here is a way to believe both evolution and the creation at the same time. Maybe when God created the world God created monkeys and when early Europeons found bones they thought it belonged to a human. Another way is that when the Europeons bragged that Jesus looked Roman instead of Jewish they put that Adam and Eve were humans , or there were more things before Adam and Eve. What if God created monkeys in the very beginnig and it was so loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngg ago that people can't trace
