Chimps. Bonobos. Humans. We're all great apes, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re one happy family.\n\nThis episode, a mashup of content stretching all the way back to 2010, asks the question, is cross-species co-habitation an utterly stupid idea? Or might it be our one last hope as more and more humans fill up the planet? A chimp named Lucy teaches us the ups and downs of growing up human, and a visit to The Great Ape Trust in Des Moines, Iowa highlights some of the basics of bonobo culture (be careful, they bite).\n\nEPISODE CITATIONS:\n\nPhotos:\n\nPhoto of Lucy and Janis hugging.\xa0 (https://zpr.io/U7qRdYDqxbGj)\n\nVideos:\n\nLucy throughout the years (https://vimeo.com/9377513)Slideshow produced by Sharon Shattuck.\n\nOur newsletter comes out every Wednesday.
