Unreferenced date December 2009 Original research date October 2009 Cultural behavior is behavior exhibited by humans and, some would argue, by other species as well, though to a much lesser degree that is extrasomatic or extragenetic , in other words, learned. Learned Behavior There is a species of ant that builds nests made of leaves. To build a nest, some of these ants pull the edges of two leaves together and hold them in place, while others carry larva in their jaws and sew them together with the silk they secrete. This is certainly a complex feat of engineering, but it is not cultural. This behavior is instinctive, built into the ants behavior mechanisms. They cannot alter their plans or think of better ways to join leaves. They cannot teach or be taught to do so. But there are examples of animals that can learn behaviors, such as dogs and cats . A dog doesn t know instinctively not to urinate or defecate indoors, but it can be taught not to do so. Dogs are capable of learning specific behaviors.
