Baboons act more like that, you know primates like us.

Bonobos, primates like us and more closely related than baboons, do not.

I mean. They are a matriarchy. So one could say the oldest is the alpha female. Who only accepts a new female in the group if she's able to sexually satisfy the matriarch. And in case you want to see what bonobo gay sex looks like... don't. It looks like two sopping tumors rubbing against each other.

Oh thank god the tumors aren't dry.
