Page title:'Animal traditions: Behavioural inheritance in evolution' reviewed by Herbert Gintis
Keywords:avital, jablonka, genetics, animal traditions, herbert gintis
Description:The message of this book is that in species with significant behavioral plasticity and ability to learn, there is a coevolution of learned behavior and structure of social interaction on the one hand, and genetic development on the other. The authors justify this message empirically and theoretically, while lamenting the tendency of most animal behaviorists to downplay the importance of learning and the causal feedback from social macrostructure to genetic microstructure.
