Human tool behavior is species-specific and remains unique

Susan Cachel. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Aug.

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 primates.
