What are the best examples of ritual (or ritual-like) behavior among non-human animals? (Here's looking at you, @sarahdoingthing.)
-
@sarahdoingthing "Behavioral honest signal" seems broader than ritual, somehow, but hard to put my finger on it.
@sarahdoingthing Bower-building seems so transactional. "Here's proof of my fitness." "OK, let's bang." Doesn't transform social reality?

-
@sarahdoingthing Ritualized aggression (suggested by @wargfranklin) seems like it changes social reality. Not sure if that's important. -
@sarahdoingthing @wargfranklin (Social grooming too.)
