Abstract

Assessments of cetacean behavior has been hampered by popular misconceptions and mythic imagery. Rendell and Whitehead argue persuasively for accepting the idea of cetacean culture. Approaches to “culture,” however, must resist positivist approaches that reaffirm the observable. Culture is also comprised of “lacunae” when organisms choose to resist or avoid behavioral patterns.
