- Recent decades have revealed that social learning and the transmission of cultural traditions are much more widespread in the animal kingdom than earlier suspected, affecting numerous forms of functional behavior and creating a secondary form of evolution, built onto the better-known primary, genetically based form.

Sep 4, 2018 · If we are interested in how culture shapes the evolution of cognition (for language or other behaviors), we need to understand both how cognition shapes culture, and how this in turn allows culture to reshape cognition, either through gene–culture co‐evolution or acquired biases in learning.

Oct 19, 2020 · Culture 1 is used when the purpose of enquiry is to find out how social learning influences evolutionary dynamics across the animal kingdom; when asking how social learning contributes to behavioural adaptation, interacts with genetic processes, and semi-detaches animals from ecological constraints.
Jul 24, 2017 · Articles in the Sackler Colloquium on the Extension of Biology Through Culture explore social learning and cultural transmission in humans and nonhuman animals as well as the interplay between cultural and genetic evolution.
How do genes and the environment come together to shape animal behavior? Both play important roles. Genes capture the evolutionary responses of prior populations to selection on behavior.
Jun 18, 2019 · In summary, this paper suggests that human activities can act as a catalyst for cultural change in animals, both in terms of threatening existing traditions and fostering new ones.
Aug 15, 2016 · Research on culture and biology interplay can improve understanding of the complexity of the human experience by elucidating how, when, and what cultural and biological processes work together to shape development and evolution.
