In northeast Brazil, the capuchins have a food source limited to hard shelled fruits and seeds. As a survival adaptation they learned how to make use of the available sources by the use of stone tools. Interestingly enough, they don’t just use any old rock that they can find. The capuchins make sure that their “hammers” are the perfect size to swing with but are also made out of a hard enough material- such as quartzite. Sandstone is usually used as an anvil. The perfect tools don’t just go to…

These “New World Monkeys” are part of the Creschini…

In Lord of the Flies, William Golding claims that two impulses exist in all human beings. The desire to live by the rules, and follow their everyday morals and the urge to become savages and hunt to survive. When the children first landed on the island, most of them agreed that order was needed. They all complied at the beginning and established their leader and their rules. Their conch at the island brought order and power to the individual holding it and it became a symbol of authority at the…
