You nailed that one.....

Here is one you may well appreciate

The Congo River......On one side of it are the chimpanzee, which we evolved from....One the other Are the bonobo. (Which you may have heard of ;)

There are stark differences in the two in how they go about things yet are very similar physically....

One may well say we came from the wrong side of the tracks ;)

Bonobos and chimpanzees closely resemble one another physically and they were not recognized as separate species until the 1930s. Their behavioral differences are much more distinct. While bonobos organize into female-led societies, chimpanzees are patriarchal. When bonobos encounter other bonobo groups they generally interact peacefully. Bonobos are also known for using sexual behaviors to defuse tension—including same-sex behaviors among females. Chimpanzees, however, tend to act more aggressively when encountering other chimpanzee groups and may even have violent exchanges that include fatalities.
