Cognition, culture and environment - how do they work together to influence primate behaviour? What can tool use and behavioural patterns tell us about primate society?
Studying primates provides one of the best insights into the evolutionary origins of human behaviours. To truly understand how and why certain behaviours are adopted (and differ) in primate species, a combination of factors must be considered. If you want to learn about tool use, nesting and behavioural patterns, if you want to understand primate culture, then this is the episode for you! Dr Kathelijne Koops and I discuss the impact of the interaction of cognition, culture and environment on primate behaviour - unfolding the stories of our closest living relatives.
