    The difference might be in primates in captivity learning from humans using tools around them all day every day. Primate see primate do trial and error.

    I don’t get it. I highly doubt zookeepers tend to pick medicinal plants from the habitats in lieu of popping a painkiller. Otherwise how would using a shovel teach a monkey to use plants to treat a scratch for example?
