We try to offer an integrative framework that still recovers some of the advantages of tooling (e.g., the analytical precision needed to investigate the dynamics and features of a specific kind of tool use behavior). We'd encourage you to give it a read if you haven't had the chance yet! 2/2

Hi Phyllis,

We actually argue that the tooling framework should NOT replace the traditional notion of 'tool use,' which captures the breadth of the ability to recognize and use objects to achieve goals. 1/2

Thank you for sharing, Antonio! We are glad to hear that our paper resonated with your own musings and that you found our fourfold taxonomy to be pointing in the right direction!
