Population interconnectivity shapes the distribution and complexity of chimpanzee cumulative culture

2023-08-15

Abstract excerpt

While cumulative culture is a hallmark of hominin evolution, its origins can be traced back to our common ancestor with chimpanzees. Here we investigate the evolutionary origins of chimpanzee cumulative culture, and why it remained incipient. To trace cultural transmission among the four chimpanzee subspecies, we compared between-population networks based on genetic markers of recent migration and shared cultural...
