J. Wilson neatly proves that "learned behavior" is too narrow a
definition of "culture": it includes much of her pet's behavior. That
is why we need to define culture as the acquisition of a *social
group*--i.e., two or more members of the same species engaged in
patterned interaction. --Bob Graber
