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.
