Paperback. Condizione: Good. What if apes had their own culture rather than an imposed human version? What if they reacted to situations with behaviour learned through observation of their elders (culture) rather than with pure genetically coded instinct (nature)? In answering these questions, eminent primatologist Frans de Waal corrects our arrogant assumption that humans are the only creatures to have made the leap from the natural to the cultural domain.The book's title derives from an analogy de Waal draws between the way behaviour is transmitted in ape society and the way sushi-making skills are passed down from sushi master to apprentice.
