Ummm, Boss, don't know how to break it to you, but a bonobo's an *ape*.


...yeah.

Do we really need more Earth-named things on Xothu? For that matter, do we need any apes at all?

Well, getting rid of *all* apes throws off the taxonomy a bit- http://worldspinalpha.pbwiki.com/Taxonomy%20of%20Hominids%20on%20Xothu

But, yeah, no reason why they have to have followed the exact same course as on earth- orangutans, ferinstance, have a more complicated family tree here, and whatnot.

Still, we've got humans, and chimpanzees and bonobos at the least are so closely related to them that we're probably going to have *some* analogue for them. Unless you want to take a crack at the taxonomy, see if you can get it to work- I don't mind, really
