What does the text say about the presence of cumulative culture in humans and other species?
Humans have cumulative culture, but most researchers believe it is not present in other species.
Which of the following does the text state about tool use and multisensory neurons in non-human primates?
Non-human primates have multisensory neurons, which facilitates their tool use.
What does the text say about the existence of imitation in other primates compared to humans?
Imitation exists in both humans and other primates.
What might make complex culture unique to humans?
The gene expression of mirror neurons and their pathways to other regions, such as theory of mind regions.
Explore the different mechanisms of social learning across species such as imitation, stimulus enhancement, contagion, and mimicking. Understand how tool use is facilitated by multisensory neurons in nonhuman primates. Delve into the debate surrounding imitation in primates compared to humans, and what makes complex culture unique to humans beyond the existence of mirror neurons.
