How cumulative it is, is a fair question to ask. But I don't think animals passing on "culture" has anything to do with humans. Look at lion prides, where one pride has learned how to hunt elephants while another buffalo, and the young ones pick it up from the older generation. But put one member of one of those prides in the other's spot and they'll be clueless until they learn it from the others.
