Florida researcher looks at bonobos for culture preservation

Bestselling author, journalist and researcher Vanessa Woods will present a session on bonobos early in the new year.

Woods was the recipient of the Thomas Lowell Award for her nonfiction book “Bonobo Handshake” in 2010. ‘Meet the Bonobos: Will Their Culture Save Us?’ will be presented in Coral Gables. Residents from across the state are invited to attend, including nearby communities such as Hialeah.

Woods is a research scientist at Duke University in the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology. She visited the Republic of Congo and studied the bonobos, a rare ape species. Researches have stated that the bonobos share 98.7% of human DNA. Females are in charge of the ape communities and they live in a peaceful environment with no violence.

In her presentation, Woods will introduce “Survival of the Friendliest: Understanding Our Origins and Rediscovering Our Common Humanity.” This is her most recent book and was co-authored with her husband. Over 1,000 scientific research document findings will be discussed regarding the theory of human nature and how friendliness is the key to success.

Poster printing is an effective method of promoting workshops and presentations. When placing vivid imagery and compelling content on Posters, it attracts interest and increases attendance at events.

The Vanessa Woods presentation will take place on January 23, 2021 at Books and Books, 265 Aragon Avenue.
