Both the reading passage and the lecturer discuss the behaviours of bononos and chimpanzees. The lecturer, however, casts doubt on the reading passage's claim that there are significant differences between the two species, by presenting three counter-arguments.
First, the lecturer asserts that bonobos also show agreesive behaviours. Studies that focused on wild Apes, instead of Apes in captivity, indicates that wild bonobos shake fist and throw objects at others that approach their habitat. Also, Bonobos throw sticks at each other and even fight. This refutes the reading passage's claim that bonobos are peaceful animals with unagressive behaviours.
Second, the lecturer says that young bonobos are not attacked by other members of the group as young bonobos are always protected by their parents. Chimpanzees are more likely to be attacked and be killed as they often stray from the group. If bonobos strayed from their group, they will also be attacked by others. This counters the author's assertion that bonobos never attack young bonobos of their group.
Lastly, the lecturer indicates that chimpanzees prefer eating fruits to eating meat. However, due to human activity, the availabity of fruits has declined, forcing chimpanzees to eat meat to survive. Bonobos would also hunt as chimpanzees if they lack their food for survival. This refutes the author's claim that chimpanzees are carnivorous but bonobos enjoy vegetation diet.
