This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Animal Tool Use, Animal Tool Use can also be defined as using an object as extension of the body, Adaptive function (of falsely advertising bigger size): to attract a mate but false advertising has its cost (see communication cmap), Traditionally defined as: to alter the form, position, or condition of an object for example New Caledonian Crows alter the spiked leaves to extract insects from inaccessible holes in trees., Traditionally defined as: to alter the form, position, or condition of an object for example Orangutans use leaves as a method of lowering the pitchof their voice for communication, Adaptive function being to find and catch prey ultimately Increasing survival, Orangutans use sticks to rub irritant hairs off of the Neesia fruit with the Adaptive function being to protect their mouths in order to have the ability to eat the fruit, defined as using an object as extension of the body cognitively implies the animals perception of its own body and capabilities is increased, Adaptive function being to find and catch prey ultimately Increasing survival, goal-directedness including Insight, the use of an external object not considered a tool to achieve an outcome for example Capuchin monkeys use stones to break open nuts, Traditionally defined as: to alter the form, position, or condition of an object for example chimpanzees tested already-made fire using a protective stick/stem to investigate it, Chimps dip long sticks to extract ferocious driver ants with the Adaptive function being to find and catch prey, Chimpanzees use sharpened sticks to spear bush babies from their tree hole in which they are sleeping during the day with the Adaptive function being to find and catch prey, Adaptive function being that the stick will indicate to the chimp if the fire is a potential threat which leads to increased survival, flexibility by the tool user ???? ????, Dolphins use sponges to protect their rostrums while foraging on the ocean floors with the Adaptive function of protection, New Caledonian Crows alter the spiked leaves to extract insects from inaccessible holes in trees. with the Adaptive function being to find and catch prey, Animal Tool Use is Traditionally defined as: to alter the form, position, or condition of an object, Animal Tool Use was evolutionarily preceded by "proto-tool use", chimpanzees tested already-made fire using a protective stick/stem to investigate it with the Adaptive function being that the stick will indicate to the chimp if the fire is a potential threat
