Do whales have culturally-marked societies? Do translocated big-horn sheep learn from each other how to best use their new habitat? What kinds of cultures do non-human animals learn from each other, and what does it mean for their genetic evolution and conservation?
Join us on February 18th at 2pm with Prof. Hal Whitehead, biologist and researcher to explore animal culture - behaviours learned socially and passed across generations - and what they reveal about the evolution of social complexity. There will be a Q&A at the end where you can ask Hal any questions you might have about animal culture.
Hal Whitehead is a Professor in the Department of Biology at Dalhousie University. His research focuses on social organisation and cultural transmission in the deep-water whales, but he also works on their ecology, population biology and conservation. He holds a PhD in Zoology from Cambridge University and has served on the IUCN Species Survival Commission Cetacean Specialist Group since 1983.
