Beautiful photographs illustrating a sad story: “We estimate the population at fewer than 20,000 individuals. Perhaps even fewer than 15,000. They are now critically endangered.”

Bonobos transformed how we think about animal societies. Can we save the last of the ‘hippy apes’?
They are peaceful, female-led and use sex in everyday interactions. Now a new conservation scheme could offer a lifeline to our critically endangered close relatives living on the Congo river

We argue that modern intensive parenting is not only exhausting for parents, but in some cases disrupts healthy child development.
What is 'overparenting'? And can evolutionary theory help us understand how we got here?
