<p> Culture, the ability to create and spread traditions through social learning, is often seen as a monopoly of our own species.
But there are many species that learn through others <dt-cite key="whiten1999CulturesChimpanzees"> </dt-cite>.
Few of them can change their cultural skills with time <dt-cite key="tyarks2022ChangesHumpbackWhale"> </dt-cite>.
Some species can even accumulate changes with time, which leads to a continuous “complexification” of their skills <dt-cite key="sasaki2017CumulativeCultureCan"> </dt-cite>.
What is unique in humans, however, is the intensity of accumulation.
From programming languages to musical instruments <dt-cite key="solee2013EvolutionaryEcologyTechnological"> </dt-cite>, the fossil record of human innovations has a rather intricate, tree structure, with new innovations arising out
of recombination of existing ones.

<p> Why do humans innovate to such an unprecendented degree?
