I think some communes have tried the bonobo approach. I'm not sure it's worked with humans.

Dan, Thanks for the text of the Angier article, which I may actually have read when it first appeared. But it's been a while! When I said the bonobos were "everybody's favorite," I of course meant they were favorites of those people who don't want to think that as primates, humans are necessarily programmed for aggression, and who like the idea of having bonobos as their closest relatives. Of course, bonobos do practice what in humans would be regarded as "child abuse," and that takes a little getting used to. Joan P.S. Why "suspect source"? It's not suspect around here.
