The article described the research carried out in Fazenda Boa Vista (State of Piauì, Brazil) on a wild population of bearded capuchin monkeys. These monkeys use stone hammers and anvils to open very resistant palm nuts. Researchers demonstrated that they are able to select the tools according to their physical characteristics and that they transport the stone tool to the hard anvil where they use it.
