Culturogenesis before culturogenesis
(from diamond to «cat music»)

Abstract. The article is devoted to the consideration of the question of the origin of early forms of culture even before the appearance of the modern human species in the social behavior of animals, in their relationship to each other. The opinion of various philosophers on this issue is considered. A special place in this process is occupied by the so-called "companion animals" – cats and dogs, whose behavior was formed in close contact with humans.

Keywords: culture, cultural genesis, social behavior of animals, companion animals-cats, dogs
