Are humans the only species conscious? I disagree and would even say we are not the only species with culture.

do you have an example of culture in another species?

I agree on the consciousness. I just don't see why at least primates would not have a similar consciousness.

Maybe whale songs and migrations, dolphins and bubble rings, wolf packs…

There are definitely learned behaviours which are passed on socially, and some populations have them and some don’t. An example here in Australia is swooping magpies: in many parts they become homicidal in the nesting season, whereas where I live they are calm around humans all year round.
