Jane is a famous Anthropologist. She was born in England. At age 8 Jane was interested and always fascinated with animals. Jane was selected to go to Africa to study chimpanzees.

The chimpanzees have a alpha male, who shows aggression and strength while the bonobos are lead by females, who are peaceful.
If I were to do a research I would be more interested in the bonobos. Many questions wolf arise such as how they live and in particularly why do they only have intercourse for up to 10 seconds. One interesting finding in the video was how it stated that bonobos have more that one sex partners which is similar to humans and polygamy, for example the television show Sister Wives. However, the consequences are different in both bonobo and Human world and
