ABSTRACT
Receiving relevant information of the environment and managing it appropriately in order to survive and reproduce is a main need for any species, of course. Learning, social transmission of knowledge, does also play a role for many social species' basic skill set, to the point of different chimpanzee groups developing different "cultural traditions". In spite of the more limited contemporary interaction, nature continues to serve such a function, at least in metaphors and figures of speech. Corporeality once again is an aspect worth of pointing out explicitly, particularly as the body is not often considered as a part of, and as, nature. The diversity, richness in information, and occurrence of quirky, unexpected elements is an input, to human understanding and creativity in general, as well. Knowledge of specific uses more appropriate to certain varieties than to others, etc., helps in the enjoyment, tod, as may ideas of the relation between the way of life and social justice or sustainability.
