Archaeologists Find Monkeys Have Been Using Tools for 700 Years

As humans, we might think that we are the first ones to adapt or use tools, but new evidence is showing that primates have been using tiny hammers and other tools to open cashews for over 700 years. In their paper published in the journal Current Biology, scientists at the University of Oxford have even suggested that people knew cashews were safe to eat by observing monkeys crack them open with their primitive tools and eating them.

The recent discover in Brazil dates the tools back to the 1300’s, but researchers don’t think it stops there.
