Isn't there a famous monkey experiment that describes this situation. Long after the original monkey that exhibits some (natural monkey) action and gets reprimanded for it, other monkeys try to stop new monkeys coming into the group from doing the same action generations later, even after the original monkey is no longer in the group and the action is no longer reprimanded against.
