#ToolUse
Defining non-human #ToolUse remains contested, complicating scientific generalization & inspiring the concept of “tooling.” Our new 📄 @philscijournal.bsky.social proposes a synthetic framework to advance research on 🔧 use & tooling 👇 www.cambridge.org/core/journal... #philsci #cogsci #evosky #HPbio

Luckily my teachers 🦧 were the best!

Construction is not as easy as you think - got 5 minutes? Show me what you can do!

More than just tool users, Gombe's chimpanzees demonstrate precise material selection for termite fishing, choosing plants with optimal flexibility. This discovery raises questions about the evolutionary roots of tool technology in primates, including humans. #Primatology #Anthropology #ToolUse
Chimpanzees aren’t just tool users—they’re engineers. A new study finds that wild chimps at Gombe pick plant materials with the right flexibility for termite fishing. Could this hold clues to early human technology? 🛠️🐒 #Anthropology #Primates #Evolution

A key debate: Did Gemini use external tools like Lean or rely solely on natural language processing? The community questions the extent of internal tool use and whether formal verification tools aided its training. Transparency on this is crucial. #ToolUse 2/6

Elderly wild chimpanzees show steep, uneven declines in tool use. A 17-year study finds aging affects not just strength but cultural memory. Could this mirror aging in early hominins? #Primates #Anthropology #HumanEvolution #ToolUse #Chimpanzees

my daughter had her exams recently, Gemini 2.5 (with tooluse) could solve the majority of the math test questions from just a photograph. So explain me why it's worse at math ? (besides unreliablity and untrustworthiness, i fully agree with that).

He then used these flakes to cut cords and open boxes containing food treats.
