>>13040729Humans were the first ones to discover how to use apparati outside of their own appendages. Monke explanation:
> Monke want fish> Monke try to grab fish> Fish scared, swim away> Other monke use rock to crack open coconut> Teach other monke> Use rock to get food from coconut> Use rock to bludgeon small animal> Other monkes use rock to shape other sharp rock by accident> Rock sharp, cuts> Attach sharp rock to long stick> Use long rock stick to catch fish> Fish no swim away> Monke powerThe use of apparati outside of our own bodies allows us to leverage things other creatures can't. If you think about "smart" animals like crows, raccoons, and others, they all have this in common. Crows can use small rocks to break things, they collect things. Raccoons can use doors, pick locks, etc. A "dumb" animal simply uses their legs and jaws to hunt, while "smart" animals use other things to compensate for things they do not have naturally.
