Abstract
Craig Stanford, while attending a seminar on primate societies, made the mistake of claiming that chimpanzee communities had cultures. The infuriated cultural anthropologists attending the seminar “fairly leaped across the seminar table” to verbally garrote Stanford. “Apes are mere animals,” they lectured, “people alone possess culture. And only culture— not biology! Not evolution!—can explain humanity.”1
