Genetic and 'cultural' similarity in wild chimpanzees.
The question of whether animals possess 'cultures' or 'traditions' continues to generate widespread theoretical and empirical interest. Studies of wild chimpanzees have featured prominently in this discussion, as the dominant approach used to identify culture in wild animals was first applied to them. This procedure, the 'method of exclusion,' begins by documenting behavioural differences betwe...
متن کاملCladistic analyses of behavioural variation in wild Pan troglodytes: exploring the chimpanzee culture hypothesis.
Long-term field studies have revealed considerable behavioural differences among groups of wild Pan troglodytes. Here, we report three sets of cladistic analyses that were designed to shed light on issues relating to this interpopulation variation that are of particular relevance to palaeoanthropology. In the first set of analyses, we focused on the proximate cause of the variation. Some resear...
متن کاملPhylogenetic analyses of behavior support existence of culture among wild chimpanzees.
Culture has long been considered to be not only unique to humans, but also responsible for making us qualitatively different from all other forms of life. In recent years, however, researchers studying chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) have challenged this idea. Natural populations of chimpanzees have been found to vary greatly in their behavior. Because many of these interpopulation differences ca...
متن کاملAre behavioral differences among wild chimpanzee communities genetic or cultural? An assessment using tool-use data and phylogenetic methods.
Over the last 30 years it has become increasingly apparent that there are many behavioral differences among wild communities of Pan troglodytes. Some researchers argue these differences are a consequence of the behaviors being socially learned, and thus may be considered cultural. Others contend that the available evidence is too weak to discount the alternative possibility that the behaviors a...
متن کاملVariable grooming behaviours in wild chimpanzees.
Wild chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, show regional differences in feeding [Boesch and Boesch-Achermann, 2000], tool using [McGrew, 1992], grooming [Nakamura et al., 2000], courtship [Nishida et al., 1999] and vocal communication [Mitani et al., 1992]. Comparisons have revealed at least 39 behavioural differences among chimpanzee populations [Whiten et al., 1999]. Here we add to that list by repor...
