==== Evolution and cultural intelligence ====
Social Learning Theory has more recently applied alongside and been used to justify the theory of cultural intelligence.<ref name=":6">{{Cite journal|last1=Schaik|first1=Carel P. van|last2=Burkart|first2=Judith M.|date=2011-04-12|title=Social learning and evolution: the cultural intelligence hypothesis|journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London B: Biological Sciences|language=en|volume=366|issue=1567|pages=1008–1016|doi=10.1098/rstb.2010.0304|issn=0962-8436|pmc=3049085|pmid=21357223}}</ref> The cultural intelligence hypothesis argues that humans possess a set of specific behaviors and skills that allow them to exchange information culturally.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Herrmann|first1=Esther|last2=Call|first2=Josep|last3=Hernàndez-Lloreda|first3=María Victoria|last4=Hare|first4=Brian|last5=Tomasello|first5=Michael|date=2007-09-07|title=Humans Have Evolved Specialized Skills of Social Cognition: The Cultural Intelligence Hypothesis|journal=Science|language=en|volume=317|issue=5843|pages=1360–1366|doi=10.1126/science.1146282|issn=0036-8075|pmid=17823346|bibcode=2007Sci...317.1360H|s2cid=686663 |doi-access=}}</ref> This hinges on a model of human learning where social learning is key, and that humans have [[Natural selection|selected]] for traits that maximize opportunities for social learning. The theory builds on extant social theory by suggesting that social learning abilities, like Bandura's cognitive processes required for modeling, correlate with other forms of intelligence and learning.<ref name=":6" /> Experimental evidence has shown that humans overimitate behavior compared to chimpanzees, lending credence to the idea that we have selected for methods of social learning.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Whiten|first1=Andrew|last2=McGuigan|first2=Nicola|last3=Marshall-Pescini|first3=Sarah|last4=Hopper|first4=Lydia M.|date=2009-08-27|title=Emulation, imitation, over-imitation and the scope of culture for child and chimpanzee|journal=Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London B: Biological Sciences|language=en|volume=364|issue=1528|pages=2417–2428|doi=10.1098/rstb.2009.0069|issn=0962-8436|pmc=2865074|pmid=19620112}}</ref> Some academics have suggested that our ability to learn socially and culturally have led to our success as a species.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://secretofoursuccess.fas.harvard.edu/|title=THE SECRET OF OUR SUCCESS|website=secretofoursuccess.fas.harvard.edu|language=en|access-date=2017-03-31}}</ref>
