Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by "culture"? Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too.When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common.Culture is the forms of behavior (行为)hat help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.
Human beings use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language.But these aspects(方面) of human behavior, or "culture", can also be found in the lives of certain animals, Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals.Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.
动物间是否存在“文化”?我们所说的“文化”意味着什么?近日,社会学家正在研究文化现象是否只存在于人类之间,抑或是动物之间也同样存在.当我们提到文化时,指的是一个社群常见的生活方式.文化是一种使人们一起生活的行为方式,也是区分一个社群与另一个社群有所不同的行为方式.
人类使用工具,相互合作,使用语言进行沟通.但人类行为的这些方面,或“文化”,同样存在于某些动物之中,例如动物也能制造工具.我们曾经以能否使用工具来区分人类与其他动物.后来,我们发现这并不能作为区分的依据.黑猩猩不仅能使用工具还能制造工具.动物同样能够使用它们自己的语言来沟通和共享信息.我们必须认识到,曾经用来区分人与动物的界线也许并不明确.
