BBC reported today on a very interesting article that looks into how female monkeys in Thailand tech their young. Teaching techniques on using tools properly has always been an activity carried out only by humans, Professor Nobuo Masataka of Kyoto University told the AFP news agency.
However these female monkeys have been observed flossing their teeth using human hair in the same way that we humans floss our own teeth. furthermore, researches from Japan also noticed that the mothers spend double the amount of time flossing when they were being watched by their infants. This suggests that they were deliberately teaching their young how to floss.
