Primate Behavior and Ecology Child and Animal Learning Development Language and cultural evolution

Abstract

Abstract This chapter reviews the study of one particular baboon troop (Forest Troop) that demonstrates that the social world of these primates can be unexpectedly malleable. It discusses sociality in the typical baboon troop; the prosocial features of life in a typical baboon troop; and the mechanism of cultural transmission of Forest Troop sociality. The chapter concludes by addressing the question of whether the Forest Troop culture is stable and transmissible.
