I just came back from a community that holds the secret to human survival. It’s a place where women run the show, have sex to say hello, and play rules the day.

Additional Information: This quote from primatologist and TED Fellow Isabel Behncke Izquierdo is about bonobos, a species of apes that is closely genetically related to humans. Izquierdo is saying that humans could benefit by mimicking the behavior of these apes, and specifically their playfulness, women-centered society, and active sexual nature. The quote is from the primate researcher's 2011 TED Talk about the lessons humans can learn from bonobos.
