The last decade has witnessed remarkable discoveries and advances
in our understanding of the tool using behaviour of animals. Wild
populations of capuchin monkeys have been observed to crack open
nuts with stone tools, similar to the skills of chimpanzees and
humans. Corvids have been observed to use and make tools that rival
in complexity the behaviours exhibited by the great apes.
Excavations of the nut cracking sites of chimpanzees have been
dated to around 4-5 thousand years ago. Tool Use in Animals
collates these and many more contributions by leading scholars in
psychology, biology and anthropology, along with supplementary
online materials, into a comprehensive assessment of the cognitive
abilities and environmental forces shaping these behaviours in taxa
as distantly related as primates and corvids.
