I don't know about migration routes as subjects of cultural
transmission, but they're certainly means of cultural transmission.
That's how agriculture spread. On my shelf is a book called "Bound
Together: How Traders, Preachers, Adventurers, and Warriors Shaped
Globalization," by Nayan Chanda.
Is this what you mean, Jochen?

What do you think, are migration routes subject of cultural
transmission as well? National Geographic recently had a nice
report about "Great Migrations", which is certainly a fascinating
aspect of ecology, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQy6D5fbP1c
I think young whales probably learn from their parents when and
where to migrate. Do you agree?

"There's nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the
deficit by spending a trillion dollars on tax cuts for millionaires
and billionaires. There's nothing courageous about asking for
sacrifice from those who can least afford it and don't have any clout
in Capitol Hill."
