REVIEW: Amazon
"We humans like to think we are unique in possessing culture, tools, and learning. Think again, oh sapiens, and stare at yourself in the mirror at the base of the tree of life: Professor Bonner has written a lucid and fascinating survey of culture and cultural-like patterns in the animals, and has also provided a simple overview of the neurophysiological bases of these phenomena. This 1980 book is a classic in the field--which is why it is in print again. There are more recent books on the topic, but we can still recommend this book heartily. ReviewThe great virtue of the book is the re-creation of culture and culture-mimicking behaviors throughout the animal kingdom, an essential step in understanding the probable origins and unique qualities of human sociality. Professor Bonner's style is, as always, witty, and wholly lucid. "
