Summary

After one macaque monkey went into a hot spring, others began doing the same, even though they never had before. Therefore, macaque monkeys can pass on social behaviours, and are not merely motivated by their genetics.

Notable Assumptions

The argument concludes that monkeys are not motivated solely by their genetics from the fact that they appeared to learn a specific behavior over time. It does not however, explicitly state that that “learning” couldn’t possibly have been motivated by the monkeys’ genetic makeup. This is therefore a missing necessary assumption - - that the change in the monkeys’ behavior could not have been motivated entirely by their genetics.
