Let's say "most men", "not"all men"are like this!!

Humans are apes.

Anybody who has ever hung out in a bar could tell you this.

And groups of laughing women sound like groups of excited chimps too.

The diffeerence between the species is interesting. Bear in mind that the Bonobo used to be called the Pygmy Chimpanzee and is a smaller species of Pan. In the wild, the family groups of Bonobo are reported to be smaller and selection apparently has favored a less aggressive species.

Let the monkey wars begin. ROFL . link http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37830165/ and the funny http://cosmiclog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/07/16/4692373-tale-of-the-monkey-terrorists . You got to love the juxtapose. The lizard brain to http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/economy/jan-june05/brain_5-10.html . I do have to laugh at time's for the parallel analogy's.

I agree, but it is reallly most men.. they should just take it easy and relax.. very good article:)

For humans, the competition is mostly among the female of the species. While the male looks for the most attractive female, it is the females that try to outdo one another and do most of the back-stabbing. One need not look any further than the billions spent on cosmetics, clothing and body enhancement to see which sex is competing. Tanning beds? Which sex is exposing themselves to deadly skin cancer just to be "competitive"? Not men.

This is really old. Scientist over 20 years ago studying baboons noted that after males had engaged in a fight, the one that "won" had an increase in testosterone and the one that lost had a decrease. Test in human male collegiate wrestlers gave the same results. Further testing proved this same results to occur in sports as subtle as tennis.

What one has to understand is that the psychological interpretation of a physical experience causes a physiological change, i.e. a change in levels of certain hormones. The field of study is psycho-neuro-endochrinology.

Humans are merely a chimpanzee with an intellect....an intellect we clearly have yet to fully utilize.

You didn't read the article carefully, it presented increased testosterone after winning as a given - as you say, established over 20 years ago. This article was about the different stress reactions of chimps and bonobos.

It does seem a little simplistic to say that all chimps react with testosterone and all bonobos react with cortisol... and then make the leap to humans who can react either way. Why would two species have just one reaction, while humans can have either? Something doesn't totally add up.
