Wolves on the phone: Public calls reveal a rise in urban concerns as wolves recolonize human-dominated areas
European wolf populations are expanding into human-dominated landscapes, triggering novel interactions with citizens and public concerns that may disrupt the traditional urban–rural divide in wolf attitudes and reshape conservation paradigms. We modelled the spatiotemporal distribution and valence of the wolf reports received through a dedicated phone service in Tuscany, Italy (2021–2024). Reports were significantly more common in: (i) late winte…
Emulation, imitation, over-imitation and the scope of culture for child and chimpanzee
We describe our recent studies of imitation and cultural transmission in chimpanzees and children, which question late twentieth-century characterizations of children as imitators, but chimpanzees as emulators. As emulation entails learning only about the results of others' actions, it has been thought to curtail any capacity to sustain cultures. Recent chimpanzee diffusion experiments have by contrast documented a significant capacity for copyin…
Cultural panthropology
Culture, in the most basic sense of “tradition,” has been shown to exist in many species. There is more to the phenomenon of culture in humans, however, than the mere existence of traditions. Thus, rather than expecting that culture can be assigned to living or ancestral species in an all‐or‐none fashion, reconstruction of the evolution of this uniquely complex phenomenon is likely to depend on successfully teasing apart its components, which may…
