Higher species reproduce sexual. Basically, the genetic material of two individuals is mixed to create a third individual with some genetic characteristics of each of the original two organisms.


Some have tried to understand human sexual relationships by examining patterns of other primates.

Gibbons - monogamous for life
Orangutan - honeymoons to rape
Gorillas - one male with several females
Chimpanzees - Alpha (& maybe beta) males do most of mating. Females will go off with lesser males. Much coercion.

Bonobos - the sexiest primate. Sex for about everything
