"Social Learning in Bees and Chimpanzees: Passing on Problem-Solving Skills"
Two recent studies demonstrate that bumblebees and chimpanzees possess the ability to learn from others, a skill crucial for achieving cumulative culture. This challenges the notion that only humans have the unique capacity to learn from others more than they could alone. The findings shed light on the potential for other animals to exhibit the type of skill necessary for achieving cumulative culture, expanding our understanding of animal learning and culture.
