Teaching and normative conformity play a critically important role in generating the so-called ratchet effect, which leads to cumulative cultural evolution in human but not other primate societies. A. Chimpanzee Behavioral Traditions Whiten et al. (1999) report the results of discussions among the major chimpanzee fieldworkers relevant to the question of chimpanzee culture. These fieldworkers reported observations of interesting chimpanzee behaviors and checked whether they occurred at other field sites.
Obviously some kind of social environment is also important in the ontogeny of other primate species for developing speciestypical behaviors of all kinds, and cultural transmission may even play some role as well. But for humans the species-typical social-cultural environment is an absolute necessity for youngsters to develop the cognitive skills required for survival in the many very different, and sometimes harsh, environments that humans inhabit. And so the point is simply that ontogeny plays an especially large and important role in the cognitive development of Homo sapiens as compared with other primates.
The third step involved group-level processes, including the creation of group-enforced norms and group-constituted social institutions. These required significant social-cognitive skills of coordination for forming both mutual expectations and normative rules with others in the group (Tomasello, 2009). Then, in addition, human groups began to compete with one another, leading to processes of cultural group selection. That is, as Richerson and Boyd (2005) have argued, human groups at some point possessed different traditions—and even norms and institutions—for engaging in various activities, including for subsistence.
