To build a nest, some of these ants pull the edges of two leaves together and hold them in place, while others carry larva in their jaws and 'sew' them together with the silk they secrete.
A particularly intelligent puppy might eventually get used to not eliminate in people's houses by observing the older dog, but no active teaching would have taken place.
Some scientists wanted to learn about eating behaviors in macaque monkeys, so they put some sweet potatoes on a beach near where they lived.
The sweet potatoes got sandy and, as the monkeys disliked dirty food, they would spend some time picking the sand off.
One young female, however started taking her potatoes to a freshwater pool to rinse off.
The same young female just scooped up handfuls of wheat and sand and dumped them in the water.
They cannot survive winters in upper latitudes without protective clothing and shelter, which are provided culturally.
Whereas other organisms that exhibit cultural behavior don't necessarily need it for the perpetuation of their species, they absolutely cannot live without it.
It is the primary abstract artifact by which culture is transmitted extragenetically (fulfilling points 3 and 4).
Most transmission of the knowledge, ideas, and values that make up a given culture, from the ten commandments to this entry, is done through language.
Though these primates lack the larynx structure that allows for sophisticated vocalization, there are other ways of communicating.
