ANT 3541 Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Radiocarbon Dating, System Justification, Observational Study
Document Summary
Scientists became interested in these capul monkeys due to their use of tools to open nuts and finish tasks. When scientists investigated the stone tools that the monkeys used - they carbon dated them and found some to be as old as 700 years old. Studying another group of monkeys off the coast, they found that the ocean created the biggest obstacle due to the low and high tide covering up the shells and tools. The monkeys would stay in the forest during high tide. The monkeys would come out during low tide.
