Beautifully played!

beautiful and melancholy song.

:)

Ya got it goin' on, Doc...Wish I was half that good...

:)

:)

:)

Please show the banjo.

awesome job

:)

Thanks for sharing Phil, nice claw hammering

Nice turnarounds!

Awesome

I liked that version of Mary had a Little Lamb. Sounds good on violin and with the singing. I'm trying to figure out your ceiling. haha. Not sure what's going on up there.

Thanks!

Well done!

Sharp all the fat cats! Fs and Cs :-)

that sounds awesome,, i would love to learn that tune,,, i only been playing for a year.

😊you have a good night as well.

Is that a target behind you? Great song

Pretty tune. Cute kid. Did he inherit your musical talent? Have you seen the video on youtube titled "This Train is Bound for Glory- Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe-The Old Crow Medicine Show" It's the one with 7.3 million views. I thought you might enjoy it. I did.

:)

Aggressive behavior in its simplest form observed in insects, mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, etc……people run with a turn of phrase and argue from their imagination of what they have seen on edited documentaries. SMH. Yes it could be said chimps are MORE aggressive in some instances but people are actually saying bonobos are not aggressive which is not true or possible for that matter. Anyway liked interesting

😊

That rocked, thanks! Very few recordings on UA-cam, so thanks for sharing. Found this tune in the Kentucky fiddle book. Cheers!

Nice to see you back. Margo sure looks comfortable. Thx for the music. : )

Hope you get well soon!!

:)

I am ok.

Sorry I am admitted to the hospital.

miss your videos. can you give us an update?

Are you coming back to do more fiddle tunes and stuff?

The bottom line is wild animals do not make good pets. Suggest viewing the series on Monkey World. Good luck

Thats not an angry bonobo, its a yawning bonobo and humans take it out of context

that was really pretty tune. thanks : )

This study doesn't really go against anything we know about bonobos - there is, of course, still very little male-female violence (while female-male violence and male-male aggression is increased when compared to chimps). It's also important to consider the extent of these aggressive interactions, which are sometimes fatal in chimps but never in bonobos. The term "hippie ape" comes from the stereotype that the "sisterhoods" ranked at the top of bonobo society often resolve conflict through sexual interaction, play, and sharing of food. Their society, when compared to chimps, is remarkably more oriented towards maintaining non-fatal interactions between individuals (especially out-group individuals). This has a lot to do with the abundance of food in the Congo Basin Rainforest - for which there is a notable lack in competition. Bonobos, like all wild animals, can be violent - but this has never (as far as we have observed) escalated to being fatal. Of course, the study is still fantastic and I find it very interesting. But it does not contradict the "hippie ape" stereotype as seriously as the NY Times article (particularly) claims.

love it mate

Dude. I have zero idea who you are, UA-cam just randomly put one of your vids in my recommendations, but from briefly looking at your channel im feeling like my life is so, so much more boring that it could be. Two degrees, sports interest, writing AND you play violin at a pretty good level. You are goddamn Renaissance man. Hope your leg is better now. Best of luck to you

Saw a documentary on bonobos showing that they have sex with children. Certainly not an ideal society.

Feel sad for you

One after the other these 20th century etiological and anthropological studies into the animal kingdom as well as primitive tribal societies show a consistent trend of left leaning western scientists presenting a mostly false, flowery image from their subject studies to support an ideological vision. Over a decade ago I developed my own nonsense meter, if it doesn't make sense in a survivalist environment, it's probably made up by some western ideologue trying to push an ideological agenda. Females across all species select for fitness as it would relate to the survival of the offspring, anywhere the female choice is allowed, by circumstance, to find a greater expression, the male competition increases instead of decreasing. So the myth of the hippie bonobo never made any sense to me, just because they might have had a relatively safe environment with minor inter-species competition, doesn't mean anything. Intra-species competition is as strong a drive for behavior, and each species, including humans, no matter their current conditions, can never just get over their entire evolutionary history and abandon aggression, which is a primary survival trait in almost all species. An extraordinary set of circumstances must be present in order for something even slightly different to evolve, and even then that thing would be significantly more venerable than average.

This is awesome!! 🎶🔥🔥🔥

Thats a nice shot of your face and skull on top of the monkey picture, so we can see the resemblance.Your a good example of evolution and your desire to progress by showing that you have been tamed by civilization. Great job, you should be proud of yourself.

:)

Fascinating topic. It's amazing how much we are controlled by our biology. Good thing to study and understand. I love the idea of learning from the animal kingdom and building more peaceful communities.

Also, yet another aspect of the matter to think about is sex dimorphism in different species. If I'm not mistaken, the most kinds of gibbons have the least degree of it amongst apes, almost non existent at all, we have it pretty low also, bonobo a little higher, regular chimps higher than bonobos, gorillas... well, it's obvious. But there are also the ability and drive to mate year round that makes us pretty unique, maybe bonobos are also somewhere near, but we have in female population it combined with a disguised ovulation (not sure about how accurate this term in English lingo, I guess close enough). It all pretty important factors and at the same time tells a great deal about the nature of behaviour of certain creatures. Also, fun fact, human have the biggest ding-dong of all apes, even compared to gorillas, not sure how to interpret that, I guess there may be also some practical sense, not gonna speculate =) Also, look at baboon type primates, they believed to evolved into themselves roughly at the same time and place that we are, they had the same food sources that we did, but their evolutionary strategy was and still is different in terms of a super highly hierarchical and aggressive society and a powerful and scary anatomical weaponry in a form of jaws and teeth (many species of them have k9 in males that in closed mouth position spread lower than the lower jaw, it's just hidden under lips, which technically makes them a sabertoothed primates, they have them longer than recent big cats) which they use as a protection from predators and in internal aggression. As a general rule the bigger the face/teeth - the more it indicates the use of dominance rather than cooperation, of course there are a number of factors. Gibbons have small faces because they don't have no aggression nor cooperation =) And other factors too. For example, speaking of different human population, it's believed some have bigger face part of scull and bigger teeth, either where in some hot climate zones to widen the area of mucous membrane to help to cool down body and brain with evaporation, or in cold climates where they need to have bigger nose and mouth cavities to warm the inhaled air, or where for a long time they ate harsh foods, such as raw meat without the extensive use of tools, for example northern peoples who often ate almost exclusively meat, or Australian Aboriginal people, who lived in a place where food were abandoned resource hence they could not bother making much tools and just casually hunt local fauna and aet it raw, they believed to have (or rather had, because colonization sadly wiped them almost entirely) the biggest teeth of all of us and also the biggest number of them, roughly 1-2 molars more then average on the planet. And sometimes in us as in many animals from spiders to birds and anything else, some features, especially external, might be quite random and a product of sexual selection, basically when partners (often females) in different species of even in different populations of one species tend to pick and consider attractive different non essential thing (such as this exact length of decorative feathers of this and this exact colur etc.). And sometimes this mechanism might be not so random, for example, there is a known tribe living now or in a nearest past, that had men noticeably smaller and "tender" built compared to women. When asked, they revealed, that they had a tradition, so to speak, of men regularly and "thoroughly" beating their wives, so generation after generation women tended to choose smaller men as husbands, because "smaller man can't hit as hard" =))) There's many more to think about that really entertains mind and as you've said enables to (at least try to) better understand the world and ourselves

I actually very much like your line of thought and habit of looking for connections etc, glad to stumble upon your video. Wow, you're just mentioned Ukraine as I write it... Greetings from Ukraine, I wish we had chimps as our east neighbors, they would be much more human alike in their mode of operation... wish us luck
