The meaning of hominid species – culture as process and product?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 September 2001
Abstract
One implication of Laland, Odling-Smee & Feldman's niche construction model concerns the significance of the role of behavioural or cultural traits in comparative analysis. In this commentary it is suggested that cladistic methods already recognise this importance, and that behavioural characters may play a key role in hominid speciation and the definition of species.
