Sharing food with other group members, even when in short supply.
Protection of other group members.
Adoption of babies when mother dies.
Punishment of violent group members, usually ejection from the group.
Sadness when member dies.

And more.

Which god is responsible for Bonobo morality?

Elephants do the very same thing, so are elephants one of our close relatives also.

Close? Yes. Closer than bonobos? No. All other animals are our relatives.
We share genetics with all animals.
