This study examines how different raw materials affect the performance and durability of percussive stone tools used by capuchin monkeys to crack nuts.

The paper compares nut-cracking techniques and tool modification in chimpanzees, capuchins, and macaques to understand how tool skill affects archaeological evidence.
