"Female chimpanzees are "selling" sex to the males that gather the most fruit, according to new research."

!

Apparently among some species, the price for bananas is quite high.

All primates pay for it in the end.

Yeah, and lady chimps give it up for "bad boy" chimps.

Yes, that was documented in "The American Scientist" by tow lady scientists.
And they did include some commentary as to their puzzlement on why
the female chimps would "give it up" for one real "bad bly" chimp.

I nearly broke a rib laughing at their scholarly and naive comments.
And said to myself: these are two scientists that obviously
didn't have a social life in high school.

Great, now if I ever give a chimp a fruit, I’ll feel like I’m promoting ape prostitution.
