But observation has confirmed that monkeys, apes and other animals, mostly primates, but also some birds (ravens, for instance), and sea otters can use tools as well. Later, philosophers thought that only humans had the ability to make tools, until zoologists observed birds[1] and monkeys[2][3][4] making tools. Most anthropologists believe that the use of tools was an important step in the evolution of mankind. Humans evolved an opposable thumb - useful in holding tools - and increased dramatically in intelligence, which aided in the use of tools.[5] Some tools can also serve as weapons, such as a hammer or a knife. Similarly, people can use weapons, such as explosives, as tools. Tools can also be largely cognitive, such as written language. Non-physical entities such as process (improvement or reengineering), information architecture, creativity, and learning itself are all invaluable tools used by humans for individual and collective benefit. 1 Functions of tools 1.1 Tool substitution 1.1.1 Multi-us..."
