However, even among these species, females still form closer bonds. Affiliative behaviors such as grooming are more prominent among women or between women and their children who form a more cohesive bond as the women in Gilmore Girls do when helping each other plan their weddings or prepare them for a busy day (Lewis , Jurmain, Kilgore 154). That's just what women do. Another explanation for why apes and humans travel together and get along is because they have less pressure when it comes to hierarchy than humans. Females definitely have rank in the group, but the Gorilla, Bonobo, and Chimpanzee social groups all value the dominant male more than the female equivalent (Cawthorn). Since the alpha point is generally a male, it leaves less competition between the females allowing for a better environment to stay in
