Contributors from biology, primatology, palaeoanthropology, psychology, social anthropology, ethnobiology, and archaeology examine social and cultural transmission from a wide range of perspectives. The topics include definitions and evidence for culture in non-human primates, studying cultural transmission within an interdisciplinary cultural evolutionary framework, the co-evolution between bentwood box traditions and languages on the Pacific Northwest coast, the transmission of ethnobotanical knowledge and skills among Tsimane' in the Bolivian Amazon, implications of plant exchange and social performance for knowledge transfer in British allotments, and lineages of cultural transmission.
