Do you agree that if 99% of our DNA was similar to the one from bonobo(pigmy chimpanzee) instead of being...?

Question

......similar to the one from chimpanzee , then this world would had been a peaceful place to live in ! ?

Answer 1

There isn't that much variance from bonobo and "regular" chimpazee DNA compared to our own to really matter. Though if we'd adopted the bonobo solution to social tensions and interactions, sure, we'd be a lot more peaceful. And a lot less technically advanced. There is something to be said for the drive provided to sexually frustrated people.

Answer 2

To sgatlantisrose above me:

Yes, the classic line is that man invented civilization to impress women.

Otherwise we'd still be sitting around campfires grunting and eating hunks of animal flesh.

Wait, we are still sitting around campfires...never mind.

Answer 3

We are more closely related to pigs than chimps, medically speaking.

All of our anatomy is more closely related to the pig than any other mammal on earth.  Go figure!

Answer 4

No.  World peace has nothing to do with the genetic variation between the species.  

Answer 5

Not in a million years, if we were as stupid as animals then it would be more peaceful, but it is best to accept reality and realize we are humans.

Answer 6

He he...very perceptive question.  It would have definitely made a difference.  Though, strife would still persist, though, I hold that it wouldn't be as bad as it is now.

People would also have a lot more missionary-style mattress acrobatics.

Answer 7

You would think since all of our characteristics come directly from our closest neighbor that we would be hairier. Come on.
