Nice article indeed.
It is good though to know that animals do imitate. If imitation
would be exclusively human it would have necessarily have to be
evolved with a quantum leap out of animal traits which
do not support imitation then. This seems highly unlikely
since evolution graduates.
Darwin rules!
Cheers,
