Another point for evolution

Last night I fell asleep watching Nova; the episode was about Bonobos, a very cute type of chimp. From Wikipedia:

Sexual intercourse plays a major role in Bonobo society, being used as a greeting, a means of conflict resolution and post-conflict reconciliation, and as favors traded by the females in exchange for food.

Turns out, I know a lot of Bonobos.
