1. Animal Culture
0.0The study of the most evolved primates, the chimpanzees and bonobos, has since enabled us to give a more precise definition of animal culture: habits acquired through a learning process leading to distinct traditions in different animal communities.
2. Animal Emotions
0.0Scientists have long been thought that animals were not able to have emotions. Thanks to recent advances in neuroscience, we can better understand what is happening in the animal brain. Animals can experience emotions such as anger, sadness and even love.
3. Animal Play
0.0As children we learn more about life through playing games than we do in any other way. It is the ability to play that enables us to develop into well coordinated, adaptable, highly social individuals. For animals, play is no different.
