摘要
We examined modification of clay forms by tufted capuchins (Cebus apella) by presenting groups of subjects with clay, paint, stones, leaves, and sticks. In Experiment 1, 7 of 10 subjects reshaped portable forms with their hands and with stones, and decorated them with leaves and paint. In Experiment 2, 9 subjects marked clay slabs manually and with stick and stone tools. The manipulative propensities of Cebus can help us to understand psychological processes that underlie artistic expression in Homo and Pan.
