Andy Dunn and Brian Spaly from bonobos.com are designers of super cool pants for men that actually fit. This is our favourite quote from their website:
'Why did we name our pants after the bonobo? We think the human race can learn a lot from a chimpanzee that shares 99% of our DNA (they are the closest relative species to ours, homo sapiens) but has never resorted to violence, and that holds a tremendous respect for women.'
James Holtz is a retired physicist who believes we should do more to help our closest living relatives
