It turns out we aren't the only ones who choose a tight inner circle! 🐒👥

A new study shows that our closest animal relatives, chimpanzees and bonobos, build human-like friend circles. They give most of their time and grooming attention to a few preferred best friends, while keeping more casual relationships with the rest of the group. Just like us!

Chimpanzees and bonobos have human-like friend circles, study finds

Great apes appear to build friendships much like humans do. By studying grooming behavior, researchers discovered that chimpanzees and bonobos form close inner circles along with wider networks of weaker social connections. Chimpanzees focus on a few trusted partners and become more selective with age, while bonobos maintain a more egalitarian social style.
