关于类人猿的文化和文化能力的发现在近几十年来逐渐认识到文化继承不仅是人类生活的重要因素,而且也是非人类动物生活的重要因素方面发挥了主导作用。这种突出地位部分源于这些灵长类动物与我们有着最近的共同祖先,从而为我们完全依赖累积的文化成就的起源提供了线索。此外,对这些物种的密集研究催生了前所未有的多样性的补充方法,其结果表明,文化现象渗透到这些猿类的生活中,对它们更广泛的进化生物学具有潜在的重大影响。在这里,我回顾一下这种极其广泛的观察和实验方法教给我们的关于黑猩猩,大猩猩,和猩猩,并考虑这些知识如何扩展我们对灵长类生物学的更广泛的理解,以及塑造它的适应和进化过程。这些原则是有机达尔文进化论的基础,但也以新的方式扩展它们,然后通过评估主要的、基于遗传的有机进化过程与基于社会学习的二级文化遗传系统之间的主要因果相互作用。
Discoveries about the cultures and cultural capacities of the great apes have played a leading role in the recognition emerging in recent decades that cultural inheritance can be a significant factor in the lives not only of humans but also of nonhuman animals. This prominence derives in part from these primates being those with whom we share the most recent common ancestry, thus offering clues to the origins of our own thoroughgoing reliance on cumulative cultural achievements. In addition, the intense research focus on these species has spawned an unprecedented diversity of complementary methodological approaches, the results of which suggest that cultural phenomena pervade the lives of these apes, with potentially major implications for their broader evolutionary biology. Here I review what this extremely broad array of observational and experimental methodologies has taught us about the cultural lives of chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans and consider the ways in which this knowledge extends our wider understanding of primate biology and the processes of adaptation and evolution that shape it. I address these issues first by evaluating the extent to which the results of cultural inheritance echo a suite of core principles that underlie organic Darwinian evolution but also extend them in new ways and then by assessing the principal causal interactions between the primary, genetically based organic processes of evolution and the secondary system of cultural inheritance that is based on social learning from others.
