摘要: In this paper I consider whether traditional behaviors of animals, like traditions humans, are transmitted by imitation learning. Review the literature on problem solving captive primates, and detailed consideration two widely cited instances purported learning culture in free-living primates (sweet-potato washing Japanese macaques termite fishing chimpanzees), suggests that nonhuman do not learn to solve problems imitation. It may, therefore, be misleading treat animal human as homologous (rather than analogous) refer cultural.
