If one associates "Free Love" with being a hippie (there are other things,
associated with being a hippies like drugs, organic restaurants, etc.),
then one might be justified with labeling the bonobo the "hippie chimp"
as some in the scientific community have done. What makes this
noteworthy at this moment in time is that the genome for the randy ape
has been sequenced.  Original research study is in Nature but a general
media story by Nature is available here:
http://www.nature.com/news/hippie-chimp-genome-sequenced-1.10822
While the Christian Science Monitor provides this report:

NOTE #1: there is a video with the CSM article and this video might
be illegal in some parts of the U.S. 1/2 ;-)
