As Stephen Gould suggested in his Mismeasure of Man , a critique of nineteenth century efforts to relate brain size to intelligence the topic tends to bring out the prejudices of those working on the problem. Francis Galton, "I propose to show in this book that a man's natural abilities are derived by inheritance, under exactly the same limitations as are the form and physical features of the whole organic world. Consequently, as it is easy, notwithstanding those limitations, to obtain by careful selection a permanent breed of dogs or horses gifted with peculiar powers of running, or doing anything else, so it would be quite practicable to produce a highly gifted race of men by judicious marriages during several consecutive marriages."

Intelligence of Apes and Other Rational Beings, by Duane M. Rumbaugh and David A. Washburn. Rumbaugh was one of the pioneers of this research. He invented an apparatus featuring a keyboard monitored by a computer, which primates could use to communicate by means of a system of symbolic language. By striking special keys marked with lexigrams (symbols that represent a word), chimpanzees formed sentences ordering a vending-type machine to supply them food, drink, moving pictures and music. The use of automated systems has dominated Rumbaugh's thinking about animal intelligence ever since his early training in the theory of animal learning. The final section, "Rational Behaviorism," presents a theoretical framework for understanding intelligent, novel, flexible animal behaviors, which cannot be explained by classical or instrumental conditioning. Briefly, Rumbaugh and Washburn propose that a new category of animal behaviors be added to the two traditional categories of

Cambridge: MIT Press, 1996, xiii, 760 pp. ISBN 0-262-08250-0 The evolution of language is a hot topic. New books on the subject garner attention in the popular media, and their authors are sought for appearance on televised documentaries. Currently, the dominant view is that language evolved wholly within the hominid (human ancestral) lineage, whether beginning early in that lineage at millions of years ago (Pinker 1994) or only more recently with our own species (Bickerton 1995, Noble and Davidson 1996). Human language is thus sharply different from all types of animal communication. The contrasting, minority position (Savage-Rumbaugh et al. 1993, King 1994, Armstrong et al 1995) allows deeper roots for language and precursors to features of human language in animal communication systems. Variations on these two views have been repeated for centuries. Theorists in the first group seize any new scrap of information about the unique properties of human language to bolster their discontinuity view, whereas theorists in the second group search for data from the animal world to bolster their continuity view. The whole enterprise thus begins to resemble an endless ping-pong match with back-and-forth debate but little productive dialogue.

Daniel Povinelli , Professor and Director of the Cognitive Evolution Group at the Center for Child Studies at hte University of Louisiana at Lafayette, wrote Folk Physics for Apes: The Chimpanzee's Theory of how the World Works . Our genetic similarity with chimps may tempt us to say we just have a sort of souped-up version of the basic ape mind, but Povinelli says if you look hard at the experimental cognitive data on humans and chimps, it seems there's really a qualitative, fundamental difference in abstract, symbolic thought between the two species. William Fields , Director of Bonobo Research at the Great Ape Trust outside Des Moines, Iowa is co-author of Kanzi’s Primal Language . Fields has studied bonobos’ ability to learn language and also refers to some of them as friends. The bonobos and humans at the Great Ape Trust have developed a shared culture, a culture that led Kanzi and his sister Panbanisha to learn to communicate with humans by using a keyboard and symbols called lexigrams.

Extractions: Current Anthropology 39.5 (Dec, 1998): 591- Abstract: The differences in cultural evolution between humans and chimpanzees can be primarily attributed to two factors. Humans possess a more complex language, allowing cultural dissemination to take place over greater lengths of time and spatiality. Human culture also incorporates the ratchet effect, permitting cumulative modifications to occur that create increasingly elaborate cultural practices. Full text Peer commentary Authors' reply Other works by Boesch ... Return to CogWeb's Evolutionary Psychology page Christophe Boesch and Michael Tomasello Our central theoretical point in this paper is that culture is not monolithic. We begin with an evolutionary perspective on patterns of cultural behavior in different chimpanzee communities in the wild, detailing some of the population-specific behaviors known in this species. We proceed to show that in general within one population there are many possible social conditions and lines of dissemination through which individuals may be exposed to particular behavioral practices within communities. We then show that there are many different types of social learning processes by means of which individuals may acquire these behavioral practices, and these different learning processes lead to cultural traditions with different properties over time. In this context we introduce some recent research on the social learning of captive chimpanzees. We conclude with an explicit comparison of chimpanzee and human cultures.
