A tool-using strategy that was key to the advancement of early humans has been observed by scientists in a bird. “Metatool use”, the ability to use one tool on another, is something that humans and great apes such as chimps and orang-utans are capable of, but with which monkeys struggle. However, a study has shown that New Caledonian crows can manage this task easily.
Horror movie anyone?
