Human tool behavior is species-specific and remains unique
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 35 (4):222-222 (2012)
Abstract
Human tool behavior is species-specific. It remains a diagnostic feature of humans, even when comparisons are made with closely related non-human primates. The archaeological record demonstrates both the deep antiquity of human tool behavior and its fundamental role in distinguishing human behavior from that of non-human primatesMy notes
