Nature’s Last Dance author Natalie Kyriacou on the lives of bonobos and Barnaby Joyce’s fish herpes plan

Fitz: Well, here is a question I never thought of asking myself. Could you tell me about Darwin’s great monkey clit that raises the theory of evolution?

NK: A group of female scientists are studying the clitoris of Bonobo, a big monkey. Bonobos is very similar to chimpanzees, but they are socially very different; Although chimpanzee societies are severe (individuals will break each other into pieces), Bonobos are quite peaceful. Thus, these scientists discovered that Bonobo women rubbed their clitheriks to improve their ties with each other. And this behavior has become so useful for species that Bonobolar developed giant clitors.

Fitz: Lesbian big monkeys?

NK: Not sexual, friendship.

Fitz: Gee. If only I I had a friend like that, but continue.

NK: Frankly, the female brings together bonobolar clitheriks and overthrows patriarchy. As a result, Bonobos lives in a very peaceful society. If we speak evolutionally, clitoral friction (Bonobos, ie) strengthens social adaptation among women and offers a real advantage to all species.

Fitz: And Charles Darwin?

NK: Charles stressed some of the secret sexism in Darwin’s theory of evolution. Darwin was a product of Victoria society, which saw women lower, though bright. She likened women animals to “spouses ve and claimed that men were“ superior to women. Unfortunately, these prejudices have shaped their theories: almost only focused on men, as they described them as dominant and brave, they largely ignore women because they saw them as passive and weak.

For this reason, many modern narratives that men are like dominant wolves have been built on distorted understanding of evolution. In reality, nature is full of surprises: in the seafood, men carry babies; In spotted hyenas, women are aggressive; In lions, women are hunted and pride is the center of survival. In fact, less than 10 percent of research studies focused on even a genre of a genre. Most research are men of a species.

And that’s why Bonobo clitorisy is very strong. By examining the Bonobos clitoris and the clitoris of the snake and various other types, we discover how various and various species are, and all incredible behaviors are represented in men and women.

Fitz: We wander in the sensitive areas of sexual and gender policy – and if it explodes, you have made it all that you are mistakes and you have made it done. But if you accept that a species rub with each other, if you accept that it strengthens their societies, as a serious question – will it argue for the virtues of militant lesbians in human society? “We don’t need men, we don’t need your damn patriarchy, so Naff and stop spending too much money for weapons and tanks while you are there!”?

NK: I don’t think it should be political. Indeed, we don’t need to make a Bonobo clitor politically. This is only about accepting that society is not limited to a kind of role or behavior – in a human or other way. Among the species, different individuals play different roles and they are all important. It also reminds us that we centralized the characteristics of a small number of male species and based on all our understanding of humanity. Probably not wise. And at the same time limiting for men. Therefore, it is about accepting that species have a series of behaviors that are useful for survival of species – and the point is not to be the most dominant, because often supports those who can create a harmonious society to make sure that a species can develop.

Fitz: Okay, it continues. Why did the scientist build a humpback head by a bird that cannot fly, and how could he save these species?

NK: In other words, Kākāpō is a critical danger from New Zealand. The world’s heaviest parrot and the only parrot that cannot fly in the world. In the wild nature remained more than 250 and face a few reproductive difficulties, one of which men’s parrots are sometimes trying to mate with human heads and inanimate objects. You see, the mating rituals are not over -advanced. Together, the men climb a hill, dig a hole, and the woman begins to blind it into the hope that Kākāpō will be irresistible.

Fitz: This sounds a little familiar, but it continues.

NK: Unfortunately, women are often not interested in this male romantic brand. Thus, men often… They match other things.

Fitz: Couldn’t they try to rub their penis with each other like normal beings?

NK: [Laughing] Maybe they could try this! There was actually a viral youtube video because a kākāpō named sirocco started Humping the head of the BBC serverDon’t launch it in international fame. Anyway, as we know, Kākāpō is struggling to reproduction and critically in danger. Thus, a scientist named Kate McINES developed an unusual scientific innovation to help the parrot reproduce. He went out and bought a rugby helmet and then sat in the backyard and re -placed it in the ejaculation helmet.

Fitz: To wait! You forgive. How do I ask – and I am very happy to know that 40 years ago – Does someone turn the rugby helmet into a “ejaculation helmet”?

NK: He put Divots into it, so the parrot had a condom hat designed to collect the sperm.

Fitz: [Uncertainly] Yes …

NK: McINNES, wearing a homemade rugby ejaculation helmet, set out to the forest and waited for Kākāpō to come and hunch up.

Fitz: Like you.

NK: And so. During three consecutive nights, McINES sat in the forest with a helmet in his head with the heaviest parrot in the world. Unfortunately, Kākāpō makes friends for a long time, so it continued for hours.

Fitz: Not because there is nothing wrong with that.

NK: Unfortunately, the helmet didn’t work. A drop of semen was not produced.

Fitz: And so my favorite story. Tell us about giving us Herpes from Barnaby Joyce once for a fish species.

NK: In 2016, Australia’s Deputy Prime Minister Mr. Barnaby Joyce announced that he wanted to give a freshwater fish. The fish was a carp, an invasive fish species that damaged the Australian river ecosystem. In a passionate parliament speech, in his speech, “We dealt with this disgusting, mud absorbent creatures to this nation. If it were, he thought that Herpes would provide an ideal place for the mass transmission, and theoretically, the theoretically decreases through Herpes.

Fitz: Since then, has it been found that he jumped to the local doctor offices with fake wigs and sunglasses to complain that he was burning when they were burning?

NK: Not yet! Despite Barnaby’s passion, the number of carp really increased. Which one in my book I wondered: If the Deputy Prime Minister could not give a fisherman, what do we hope to mobilize the effective political action for nature?

Fitz: Congratulations for the book. I enjoyed it. I heard that something might happen in documentaries or TV. Is that true?

NK: Yes, if everything is in place!

Fitz: In this case, you have a high chance of being global. Good luck!
