Response to the New Yorker article:

Frans de Waal:

The idea that bonobo conflict resolution , as exemplified supposedly by sexual interaction between bonobos, might be common in a habitat of captivity and much less so in the wild.

Also, an observation on how 'liberals' praise the bonobo for being 'peace-loving' and how ironic it would be if they really are aggressive in the wild more akin to chimpanzee behaviour.

If true, this may be a great example of the observer affecting the result of scientific observation: a bonobo is put into captivity and that facilitates observation but it causes different behaviour.

It is also interesting how we interpret 'behaviour in the wild' since different animals adjust their social behaviour in different densities of population 'in the wild': there is surely a range of different 'in the wild' behaviour.

Blogger Stephen Jones presents ideas he has read on the internet that maybe bonobos do not communicate significantly differently from other animals nor to any significant extent by human standards. That such opinions exist suggests that more could be done to present clearly what bonobos can do - and control experiments to show that it was not random 'communication';
otherwise, these other voices might become more believable: even though Panbanisha is spelled Panbonisha, and his time spent with a bonobo seems to have been brief, I get the gist of what he is saying and it would be nice to point to a resource (for lay people) which would quickly change people's opinion.
