conditions prior to passing the mirror-recognition test for self-awareness
sexual intercourse plays a major role in Bonobo society, being used as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconciliation, and as favours traded by the females in exchange for food. Females maintain their social status by cooperating amongst themselves. No one male Bonobo can dominate the group because the rest of the females band together to protect the social order.
