"According to both fossil and DNA evidence, the polar bear diverged from the brown bear roughly 200 thousand years ago" - Polar evolved from brown, so pretty closely related.

DNA evidence is a newish technology, and the best guess for divergence dates of major groups of mammals has to my knowledge changed three or four times in the last ten to fifteen years; I could probably dig up some of the relevant Nature papers if anyone cared enough.

Can we start with bonobos next time ? Sex rather than violence as preferred means of conflict resolution seems to lead to a more pleasant world in several ways.

Meh. Omnisexuality as a practice never appealed to me. ;D

After having deeply researched the Bonobos (on Wiki :D) I vote HERE< HERE for the Bonobos and their lifestyle. Given my deep research, I do not agree on their aggression or that they are anything like the traditional Chimpanse. Their good natural sense & their matriarchal society appeals to the woman in me. Make love not war!
