It is also widely regarded as a prerogative of humans. However, recent developments in cognitive ethology, anthropology and ethnology cast doubt on these claims. As a result, there has been a veritable \u2018culture war\u2019 among experts. The controversy ranges over questions like: How should culture be defined? In what sense and to what extent are non-human animals capable of cultural achievements like behavioral traditions and the production of artefacts? Is there anything in the domain of culture that distinguishes humans from animals, e.g. a capacity for cumulative cultural evolution? And what impact should animal culture have for our culture of treating animals? We shall illustrate and discuss these questions through posters and a panel discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Panelists:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Professor Dr. Hans-Johann Glock<\/strong> (Organisation), Dept. of Philosophy UZH and NCCR Evolving Language UZH<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dr. Christine Sievers<\/strong>, Walter Benjamin Kolleg, Universit\u00e4t Bern<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dr. Caroline Schuppli<\/strong>, MPI Animal Behavior Konstanz and Anthropological Institute, UZH<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dr. Stuart Watson<\/strong>, Vergleichende Sprachwissenschaft UZH and NCCR Evolving Language<\/li>\n<li><strong>Professor Dr. Markus Wild<\/strong>, Dept.
