Abstract in brief
Wild bearded capuchin monkeys in Brazil use a variety of tools, including stones and sticks, to access food and perform other tasks.
Their toolkit includes using stones as hammers to break open food, dislodge larger stones, and even pulverize substances, as well as employing sticks for probing water, insects, and nests.
The study also observed instances of secondary tool use, where monkeys reuse and combine tools (like smaller stones to manipulate larger ones), marking the first recorded evidence of this behavior in wild capuchins.]
The study explores a wild capuchin monkey site in Brazil, showing that capuchins used stone tools from 2400 to 3000 years ago, indicating long-term behavioral patterns. It demonstrates extended behavioral change…
