Ritualization

Sociobiologists believe that some communicative behavior in animals is developed through a process called ritualization. In this process, the purpose of a give behavior changes over time---a behavior that originally had a practical purpose develops into one that communicates a specific message. For example, a certain movement or physical feature might evolve to serve as a signal or a warning that other animals will understand. Once a behavior is ritualized, it becomes a form of communication; therefore, if an animal engages in this behavior, other animals will be able to interpret the meaning of the behavior quickly and respond appropriately
