Becoming Wild draws readers into the social worlds of sperm whales, scarlet macaws and chimpanzees, revealing learned traditions that guide daily life, parenting and communal identity.

The book presents culture as a living inheritance alongside genes: behaviors passed by social learning that allow groups to adapt faster than biology alone. It explores how traditions create beauty, cohesion and sometimes tension between groups, offering fresh perspective on human cultural conflicts.

Accessible and observant, the narrative connects animal behaviour to conservation and human understanding, inviting reflection on what it means to live together across species.

  • Focus: animal culture, social learning, group identity
  • Featured species: whales, macaws, chimpanzees
  • Themes: inheritance, traditions, conservation
