Good point, surrounding environment is important, will also guide learning. Sorry, more self promotion, but think what learning environments individuals enter is key. We explore such entry (& exit) patterns of learning here, including chimp tool use: royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article...
The power of associative learning and the ontogeny of optimal behaviour
Abstract. Behaving efficiently (optimally or near-optimally) is central to animals' adaptation to their environment. Much evolutionary biology assumes, imp

We go into details in our (quite) recent book where we attempted to put human and other animals' culture in the same theoretical framework, investigating links between variation in memory and thinking-like abilities with different levels of culture press.princeton.edu/books/paperb...

Genetic predispositions guiding learning needed for such behaviors to pop up regularly. Here's a little theory royalsocietypublishing.org/rsos/article... & I think comparisons between chimps (tool for food in wild) & bonobos (no food tools) is a nice example www.bonobosworld.org/images/zoter...
Social learning through associative processes: a computational theory
Abstract. Social transmission of information is a key phenomenon in the evolution of behaviour and in the establishment of traditions and culture. The dive

Deras uppsatser är bredare än att läsa original-artiklar, men spetsigare än populärvetenskap.

Gissar att det blir dyrt, om du inte har alternativa vägar att få tag på dem, men skulle vilja slå ett slag för "Trends reviews journals". Innehåller bl a aktuella översikter, nyheter & åsiktsartiklar, där uppsatser riktar sig till en publik utanför egen specialitet. Finns för många ämnen.
