Culture in cetaceans: Why put the cart before the horse?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 October 2001
Abstract
Twisting definitions of a concept to serve one's purposes is rarely a fruitful exercise and the demonstration of culture is, necessarily, a two-step procedure: (1) documenting a behavioral difference between populations, (2) demonstrating that this difference has spread through the group by means of social learning. This will avoid putting the cart before the horse.
