Pan paniscus, one of the two members of the genus Pan. Discovered in 1928 by German anatomist Ernst Schwarz. The species features relatively long legs, a matriarchal society, and the prominent role of sexual activity in daily life. Mostly frugivorous, however it can also be seen eating leaves, invertebrates, and small vertebrates.Genetic studies have shown that their DNA is more than 98% identical to that of Homo sapien.
By at least 2525, Binobos were used in medical experiments. They were very rare, as they were not bred in captivity. [1]
