Hey Katrina. Once again you've written on a long-term curiosity of mine. How much better off we'd be, I've wondered, if our society were more like bonobos' than chimps'. Matriarchy certainly seems to offer a peace dividend. With all the talk of a shift to what some call the 5th dimension that will return us to the earth goddess paradigm, perhaps humans will progress from expressing their inner chimps to channelling their iner bonobos instead. The testosterone poisoned resistance to that shift that's manifesting in the U.S. will hopefully soon give way.
BTW, I saw your doppelganger today in Asbury Park, NJ. Uncanny resemblance!
I've often wondered the very same, Alex. It would take a whole lotta work to transition to living in a more bonobo-like society, but personally I think it would be worth it. The good thing is, human behavior generally seems to swing like a pendulum, so maybe we're nearing the peak of patriarchal thinking and will naturally begin swinging back to more egalitarian lines.
Also, keep an eye on Medium tomorrow because I'm publishing a different article about bonobos. :-)
Yes! I remember that one. One in a trillion odds but shared traits and DNA as well, fascinating. The Greta Thornburg doppelganger is eerie almost. Have a great weekend!

Also also that's so cool!!! Did you see my newsletter about some interesting Doppelganger research? They're fascinating! Here's the link if you missed it: https://curiousadventure.substack.com/p/doppelgangers-have-more-than-their
Always a pleasure to hear from you!
