The evolution of food sharing in primates (2011, background): “Sharing with related offspring is relatively common in various animal taxa (Clutton-Brock 1991; Ydenberg 1994; Brown et al. 2004; Mas and Kölliker 2008; Rapaport and Brown 2008) and its evolution can be explained by kin selection (Hamilton 1964).”
Observational social learning and socially induced practice of routine skills in immature wild orang-utans (2016, background): “Evidence for nonobservational forms of social learning has been found in several fish, reptile, bird and mammal species, which suggests deep evolutionary roots (reviewed by Galef & Laland, 2005; Rapaport & Brown, 2008; Reader & Biro, 2010).”
Experimental evidence for social transmission of food acquisition techniques in wild meerkats (2009, background): “In cooperative breeders such as meerkats where nonparents contribute to care, both vertical (parent to offspring) and oblique (helper to offspring) transmission are likely to be important in the acquisition of skills by the young (Rapaport & Brown 2008; Thornton & Raihani 2008).”
