Capuchins tool use in the wild! Cognitive abilities
Great news from Fragaszy and colleagues, they have found that capuchins not only use tools in Brazil but they also choose the most effective ones for job! I think that is great news, we are learning more about our distant relatives, and its changing the way we view them and can understand ourselves. This is why evolutionary psychologists really need to take field studies into account and begin to engage in them more to understand and theorise about our origins and its effects on us today.
