DESCRIPTION:Human behaviour is largely moulded and refined in 
 society. People learn from one another\, and the r
 esulting spread of social information plays a majo
 r role in shaping the behaviour of individuals and
  groups. To what extent is this true of other spec
 ies? In this talk\, I consider the role of social 
 information in meerkat societies. I show that info
 rmation acquired from their elders plays a critica
 l role in allowing pups to develop critical life s
 kills and discuss how the spread of information ca
 n lead to local traditions in different meerkat gr
 oups.
