*"Her claim that "Mothers
among our close relatives, such as chimpanzees and
bonobos, are all but flat-chested." is not accurate, as is easily refutable
by a trip to a zoo with breeding primates, or a look at a book about
bonobos.  Bonobos especially -- which used to be called pygmy chimpanzees --
have breasts just like human breasts, but with longer nipples.  "*

Thanks Katherine, next time I go to the Ape/monkey zoo here in The
Netherlands I will take a better look at the bonobos, orangutans and
gorillas they have.
