There are, however, drives. &#8220;Drives&#8221; is a nicely vague term that we can all understand the meaning of.

					<description><![CDATA[With never-before-seen video, primatologist Isabel Behncke Izquierdo (a TED Fellow) shows how bonobo ape society learns from constantly playing &#8212; solo, with friends, even as a prelude to sex. Indeed, play appears to be the bonobos&#8217; key to problem-solving and avoiding conflict. If it works for our close cousins, why not for us?]]></description>
