The evidence of high cognitive abilities in cetaceans does not stand up to close scrutiny under the standards established by laboratory researchers. This is likely to lead to a sterile debate between laboratory and field researchers unless fresh ways of taking the debate forward are found. A few suggestions as to how to do this are proposed. As the evidence presented for culture in cetaceans is largely a byproduct of other behavioural studies, we welcome Rendell and Whitehead’s synthesis which rightly highlights the fact that whales and dolphins have been neglected by those studying animal social learning.
