While stone tool use has been observed in other wild primates, including chimpanzees, robust capuchins and macaques, the white-faced capuchins of Panama’s Coiba National Park provide a unique natural laboratory to study the evolution of stone tool use in real-time. These monkeys exhibit percussion behavior, using hammerstone tools to open nuts, crabs and coconuts. And only about one or two group on each of the researchers’ field sites exhibit the behavior. The research is part of the growing field of primate archaeology.
