Scientists have documented cultural traditions in several types of primates, as well as dolphins, rats, and some birds. The difference between culture in humans and other animals is that: Most of the cultural behaviors that we see in other species can be invented by individuals on their own Modifications of learned tasks are more likely to spread in other species than in humans. The cultural behaviors of other species are all focused on foraging tasks. • In other species, blind copying leads to cultural traditions that persist without change over longer periods of time than cultural behaviors in humans.
