Benobo chimpanzee - a species of chimp in Africa which has developed a societal adaptation of resolving
individual conflict with promiscuous sex. Rather than fight, they mount. Gender is not
important; its a way of venting social stress. A way of establishing social heirarchy, towit: a pricking order. ;-)See
wikipedia, Pecking Order.
Instead of
fighting over who next gets to groom the
alpha male, one benobo female will mount another. Once the conflict is
resolved, order is reestablished.
