But really, saying wolves run in packs is no more informative than saying humans are social and tend to have nuclear families. There's no reason that a non-human race couldn't be just as culturally diverse as humans are. It's primarily a matter of coming up with cultural diversity that still looks nonhuman, which is always a cognitive hurdle because we have no RW nonhuman race to help us conceptualize it all.
