Yes... some animals paint, when enabled by humans. but painting on its own is just an activity. The way that elephants would have painted 100 years ago is the same in which they paint now. On the other hand, paintings by humans vary according to the time and place they were made. This is culture at work. Defined in the most general way possible, culture is ‘the way we do things here’. I’m not saying that animals have no culture at all. But Compared to humans, it would be a trace amount.
