What exists in the environment that motivates the emergence, transmission, and sophistication of tool use?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 35 (4):233 (2012)
Abstract
In his attempt to find cognitive traits that set humans apart from nonhuman primates with respect to tool use, Vaesen overlooks the primacy of the environment toward the use of which behavior evolves. The occurrence of a particular behavior is a result of how that behavior has evolved in a complex and changing environment selected by a unique populationAuthor's Profile
