  • Shoals of fish can more quickly solve a two-stage foraging task when individuals experienced in only one stage of each task are combined, demonstrating that pooling experiences can aid collective problem-solving in animal groups.

  • When do groups exhibit collective ‘wisdom’ vs maladaptive ‘herding’? Toyokawa et al. use modelling and experimentation to show that crowd intelligence versus herding can be predicted on the basis of the task and the social learning strategies used.

  • The cumulative development of culture has proven difficult to study in the laboratory. Here, the authors examine entries to a series of large programming contests to show that successful entries are usually ‘tweaks’ of existing solutions, but occasional ‘leaps’ can bring larger benefits.

  • Theoretical, anthropological and genetic studies suggest that human evolution has been shaped by gene–culture interactions. This Review collates data from these diverse fields, and highlights the potential for cross-disciplinary exchange to provide novel insights into how culture has shaped the human genome.

  • The reciprocal interaction between genetic and cultural evolution is well recognised in humans. Here, Whitehead and colleagues review the growing body of evidence that culture is also a major driver of both neutral and adaptive genetic evolution in non-human animals.
