Love From a Bonobo
A bonobo holds a frog in Lola ya Bonobo sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in this image from our photography archives. The bonobo is a unique species of ape, native only to forests on the left bank of the Congo River. Along with chimps, the DNA of bonobos most closely resembles that of humans, and they feel emotions like empathy just as deeply.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth

He learns to drum for a brain-boosting, surprise stadium gig, climbs a frozen 600-foot wall to explore the benefits of breaking out of our comfort zones, and embraces brutal Special Forces pain training in South Korea—all to discover how we can live longer, better lives.
