Examining the suitability of extant primates as models of hominin stone tool culture
Extant primates, especially chimpanzees, are often used as models for pre-modern hominin
(henceforth: hominin) behaviour, anatomy and cognition. In particular, as hominin behaviour …

A primate model for the origin of flake technology
When and how human ancestors first used tools remains unknown, despite intense research
into the origins of technology. It has been hypothesized that the evolutionary roots of stone …
