I don't know if it's true that Wild chimpanzees exchange meat for sex but I know some vegetarians who may find it interesting.Wild female chimpanzees copulate more frequently with males who share meat with them over long periods of time, according to a study led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, published in the open-access, peer-reviewed journal PLoS ONE April 8.It probably works for humans as well.
I'm going out to buy some steaks for dinner.
The original paper is Gomes and Boesch (2009)
