The Evolution of Culture in Animals By: John Tyler Bonner Publisher: Princeton University Press Print ISBN: 9780691023731, 0691023735 eText ISBN: 9780691186986, 0691186987 Copyright year: 1980 Format: PDF Available from $ 45.00 USD SKU 9780691186986 Animals do have culture, maintains this delightfully illustrated and provocative book, which cites a number of fascinating instances of animal communication and learning. John Bonner traces the origins of culture back to the early biological evolution of animals and provides examples of five categories of behavior leading to nonhuman culture: physical dexterity, relations with other species, auditory communication within a species, geographic locations, and inventions or innovations. Defining culture as the transmission of information by behavioral rather than genetical means, he demonstrates the continuum between the traits we find in animals and those we often consider uniquely human.
