Tool use and constructions

Michael A Arbib. Behav Brain Sci. 2012 Aug.

Abstract

We examine tool use in relation to the capacity of animals for construction, contrasting tools and nests; place human tool use in a more general problem-solving context, revisiting the body schema in the process; and relate the evolution of language and of tool use.
