Question
Chapter 53.9, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The way by which phylogenies can reveal the evolutionary history of behavior.
Introduction: The connection between the organisms and evolution can be determined through the construction of morphological and molecular data. The newly evolved organisms adapt the better characteristics in comparison to previous organisms to survive according to the conditions of the environment where they live.

- Scientists have documented cultural traditions in several types of primates, as well as dolphins, rats, and some birds. The difference between culture in humans and other animals is that: Most of the cultural behaviors that we see in other species can be invented by individuals on their own Modifications of learned tasks are more likely to spread in other species than in humans. The cultural behaviors of other species are all focused on foraging tasks. In other species, blind copying leads to cultural traditions that persist without change over longer periods of time than cultural behaviors in humans.arrow_forwardDescribe the evolutionary benefits of primate culture, cooperation, and communication in your own words.arrow_forwardBriefly describe how observing beak sizes in finches before and after a drought in the Galapagos provides evidence for evolution.
