"This Palgrave Macmillan imprint is published by Springer Nature"--Title page verso.

What this book is about -- Tool-use by great-apes in the wild -- Great apes, tools, and cognition -- Early tool-making and the evolution of human memory systems in the brain -- Concluding remarks.

This work examines the cognitive capacity of great apes in order to better understand early man and the importance of memory in the evolutionary process. It synthesizes research from comparative cognition, neuroscience, primatology as well as lithic archaeology, reviewing findings on the cognitive ability of great apes to recognize the physical properties of an object and then determine the most effective way in which to manipulate it as a tool to achieve a specific goal. The authors argue that apes (Hominoidea) lack the human cognitive ability of imagining how to blend reality, which requires drawing on memory in order to envisage alternative future situations, and thereby modifying behavior determined by procedural memory.
