* ArcNumber: From ''Prisoner 709'', 709 represents the state of mental imprisonment the album describes. References to it are numerous: it is used in the extended titles of each song; the album contains 16 tracks (7 + 0 + 9); tracks 7 and 9 in this album are thematically opposites (Caparezza sending a message to his child self and his elderly self, respectively); and the video for the title track was uploaded on September 7, 2017 (or '''7/09'''/2017).

In reality, it's a bit more complicated. Compared to common chimpazees, bonobos do stand out as a much more peaceful species, as their communities are much more cohesive and seldom degenerate into infighting. Their culture of sexual freedom is also factual. But aggressivity towards bonobos of other communities or other species is generally comparable to that of common chimpanzees, only slightly less frequent at best.
