There are three approaches to culture:
social anthropology, ethology, and psychology. (…Traditionally, social anthropologists have understood culture‘ as … )
Ethologists have tended to emphasize the phenomenon of culture – the behavior itself. (…Psychologists, in contrast, have concentrated on the mechanisms by which culture is learned….)
例(评述) In his new book Doctor Dolittle's Delusion, Stephen Anderson pours cold water on the widespread belief that the communication systems of animals, from bees to bonobos, are essentially similar to human languaGRE, arguing convincingly communicative abilities of a wide ranGRE of creatures: the dance of honeybees, the warning cries of monkeys, and the remarkable cognitive abilities of chimpanzees.
Bees famously indicate the direction, distance and quality of sources of pollen to their fellow workers by means of a 'waggle dance', which is often taken to show that they have a 'cognitive map' of the local terrain.
We are evolutionarily closer to other primates than to bees.
To complement his critique of 'animal languaGRE', Anderson also outlines what is special about human languaGRE: in a word, syntax.
