That question has been considered by many biologists and geneticists. Because of ethical issues, much of the research in that direction has been halted. However, it is entirely plausible; the chromosomes of humans and Bonobos are almost identical. Probably the biggest point of issue is that Bonobos have one more chromosome pair than humans, because their 2 and 4 chromosomes are fused into human chromosome two. However, it is still possible for an offspring to be produced, that would have a genetic condition called chromosomal polymorphism. This would mean that an offspring of humans and Bonobos, while plausible, would probably be sterile. Other than that, all evidence seems to suggest that yes, while not necessarily easy, they can procreate.
