Although the continuity of animal life from thelowest up through homo sapiens is almost universally accepted among scientists, there is still a widespread tendency to make a sharp distinction between man and lower animals in capacity for culture. Culture consists in behavior patterns transmitted by imitation or tuition. Domesticated animals acquire culture complexes from human beings. Animals acquire behavior complexes by the limitation of one another. Instances of instruction of the young by animal parents are authoritatively reported. Songs invented by certain birds and then acquired by other birds through association are conclusive evidence of the rudiments of culture, in the strictest sense of the word. In culture, as well as in other respects, there is no sharp break between man and the lower animals
