Innovation in chimpanzees
E Bandini, RA Harrison - Biological Reviews, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
The study of innovation in non‐human animals (henceforth: animals) has recently gained
momentum across fields including primatology, animal behaviour and cultural evolution …

The zone of latent solutions and its relevance to understanding ape cultures
The zone of latent solutions (ZLS) hypothesis provides an alternative approach to explaining
cultural patterns in primates and many other animals. According to the ZLS hypothesis, non …

On the origin of cumulative culture: Consideration of the role of copying in culture-dependent traits and a reappraisal of the zone of latent solutions hypothesis.
In 2009, Tennie and colleagues published their controversial Zone of Latent Solutions (ZLS)
hypothesis, which argued that certain species' cultural behaviors represent traits that each …

Cumulative culture, archaeology, and the zone of latent solutions
K Sterelny, P Hiscock - Current Anthropology, 2024 - journals.uchicago.edu
This paper begins with an analysis of Tennie's account of hominin culture: the claims that
cumulative culture depends on a distinctive form of social learning; that that form of social …

Spontaneous reoccurrence of “scooping”, a wild tool-use behaviour, in naïve chimpanzees
Modern human technological culture depends on social learning. A widespread assumption
for chimpanzee tool-use cultures is that they, too, are dependent on social learning …

Exploring the role of individual learning in animal tool-use
The notion that tool-use is unique to humans has long been refuted by the growing number
of observations of animals using tools across various contexts. Yet, the mechanisms behind …

The human evolutionary transition: from animal intelligence to culture
In this chapter, we present seven hypotheses about human and animal intelligence that we
explore in the book. Hypothesis 1: Humans and animals embody two different paths to …

Did human culture emerge in a cultural evolutionary transition in individuality?
Abstract Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality (ETI) have been responsible for the major
transitions in levels of selection and individuality in natural history, such as the origins of …

Impact of technical reasoning and theory of mind on cumulative technological culture: insights from a model of micro-societies
Our technologies have never ceased to evolve, allowing our lineage to expand its habitat all
over the Earth, and even to explore space. This phenomenon, called cumulative …
