| Publisher Description: If culture is grounded in human biology, then it has an evolutionary history and rudimentary aspects of culture should be detectable in the behaviour of other modern species. In this volume, ethological investigators and biologically oriented anthropologists examine new discoveries in the transmission of behaviour in social groups and across generations and focus on the theme of the ethological roots of culture. |
