Résumé
The last decade has witnessed remarkable discoveries and advances in our understanding of the tool-using behavior of animals. Wild populations of capuchin monkeys have been observed to crack open nuts with stone tools, similar to the skills of chimpanzees and humans. Corvids have been observed to use and make tools that rival in complexity the behaviors exhibited by the great apes. Excavations of the nutcracking sites of chimpanzees have been dated to around 4000-5000 years ago.
Tool Use. in Animals collates these and many more contributions by leading scholars in psychology, biology and anthropology, along with supplementary online materials (available at www.cambridge.org/9781107011199), into a comprehensive assessment of the cognitive abilities and environmental forces shaping these behaviors in taxa as distantly related as primates and corvids.

Josep Call is a comparative psychologist specializing in primate cognition at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology.
He is the co-founder and director of the Wolfgang Kohler Primate Research Center. His work focuses on the study of the problem-solving abilities of primates and other animals. Christophe Boesch is the director of the Max Planck Institute of Evolutionary Anthropology's Primatology department. His work covers many areas of chimpanzee biology, which he has used to further understanding of the evolution of cognitive and cultural abilities in humans.
He is also the founder and president of the Wild Chimpanzee Foundation.
