Yes, bonobos can keep the beat of music. A study conducted in 2009 at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, found that bonobos were able to synchronize their movements to a musical rhythm. The study involved playing different types of music to a group of bonobos and observing their reactions. The researchers found that the bonobos were more likely to move in sync with the music when the tempo was slower and the rhythm was more pronounced. This suggests that bonobos have a basic understanding of rhythm and can move their bodies in coordination with music.
