The monkeys of Panama have entered the Stone Age, will they replace humans?

Humans will not allow other creatures to take their place. It took a long time from the Stone Age to the modern society, and humans would not have given them time to evolve.

In my opinion, it is impossible for them to replace human beings, after all, human beings are more intelligent and do not allow themselves to be replaced.

It is true that Panamanian monkeys entered the Stone Age. In the journal Nature Ecological Evolution, a study mentions a non-human archaeological site in the Capivara Mountains National Park in Brazil, which lasted 3,000 years to the present, in which scientists found that layers of small round stones were used to crack seeds and stone fruits, similar to the tools used by humans in the Paleolithic Age, but this site was not left by human activity. Rather, it is a monkey that still lives on Earth today: the capuchin monkey.

In fact, capuchin monkeys not only used tools in the past, but also used tools to beat hard fruits today, and scientists have observed that capuchin monkeys living in the area will use fist-sized stones as tools to beat hard cashew nuts.

Not only that, but they also know how to use hard stones as "cutting boards" so that when they hit nuts with stones, they don't sink into the soft soil.

By the time the monkeys of Panama entered the Stone Age, they may have evolved into advanced intelligence, but humans would not give them a chance. Whenever an absolute overlord is born on Earth, it is often the forces of nature that overthrow them. The overlord is supposed to occupy an absolute ecological niche, while the next overlord is dormant, quietly cultivating, waiting for nature to sweep away the strong and rise from chaos.

However, the monkeys in Panama are so high-profile and highly visible that scientists monitor them from all angles, and they don't stand a chance. Stone Age monkeys, scientifically known as white-faced capuchin monkeys, live on a small island in Panama's Coiba National Park.

In fact, scientists observed monkeys using stone tools as early as 2004. It is only in recent years that hidden cameras have captured a large number of images of monkeys using stone tools. The smashing of nuts, shells, crabs, snails and coconuts by this group of capuchin monkeys was a small group and did not spread to a wider group in the vicinity.

In addition, this skill is only used by males, and has not been observed to be used by females, suggesting that this skill requires some threshold for monkeys to understand. But this does not mean that the monkeys have entered the Stone Age, or even the Paleolithic. It should be an inevitable that human ancestors entered the Stone Age"Accidental"。

Inevitability refers to the fact that with the development of the brain, our ancestors will inevitably find some sharp tools in nature that can replace the claws, teeth and other sharp tools of wild beasts, slightly transform, and use foreign tools to expand their abilities, that is, the use of tools and the transformation and improvement of tools. Serendipity refers to the fact that the ancestors needed a chance because they had no foundation and could only imitate and learn from what was in nature.

Scientists found in the archaeological process that the early Paleolithic unearthed stone tools in China often appear near the traces of animal bone breakage, so it is speculated that more than 300 years ago, the ancestors may have used stones to smash open the bone marrow of animals, in the process of opening, inadvertently chose an angular stone, hit the bone at the same time cut his hand, blood spurted out, indicating that the thin and sharp stone can break the animal's **. Since then, Australians have entered the Paleolithic Age. They searched for sharp stones, struck stones with each other, polished stones, and made a large number of stone tools, which improved their survivability in hunting, defense, and life.

It doesn't threaten humanity. Although Panamanian monkeys are highly intelligent species, their IQ is still far from that of humans. It's just a lot taller than other animals. It does not threaten humanity.

Of course, this will not be, even if this monkey evolves, it will not be able to reach the level of human civilization, so it will not threaten humans.

The "hot spot" of Panamanian monkeys entering the "Stone Age" was first fried by the Germans in 2017, and recently it was taken out by some domestic self-leaders to fry cold rice, which attracted the attention of some people.

In 2017, a German scientific team found that the small white capuchin monkeys on a remote island in Panama would use stones to open to see nuts for food, ** caused a lot of discussion when it was released, and some people thought that these monkeys seemed to be evolving, and now they have entered the early Stone Age.

Did these Panamanian monkeys really enter the Stone Age?

The Stone Age is subdivided into the Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic Ages, and the division is marked by the use of stone tools, the use of stone tools, the use of stone tools, and the use of work based on polished stone tools. The Paleolithic Age, in archaeology, is the early stage of the Stone Age, which is marked by the use of stone tools.

The use of rocks by Panamanian monkeys to break open nuts for food, while it may seem strange, is clearly not part of the use of stone tools (processed stone tools), so it is clear that Panamanian monkeys did not enter the Stone Age.

When did it enter the Bronze Age?

Homo sapiens, the ancestor of mankind, developed in the Stone Age for nearly 2.5 million years before entering the Bronze Age (about 2.5 million years ago - about 5,000 years ago), while Panamanian monkeys have not yet entered the Paleolithic Age and have not really begun to use tools. If we had to estimate the time when a Panamanian monkey entered the Bronze Age, it would take 2.5 million years without external interference and with a large enough living space.

However, the world is dominated by humans, and the wild living space of animals is getting smaller and smaller, and it is impossible for these Panamanian monkeys to enter the Bronze Age before the extinction of humans.

Will it threaten humanity?

Even if the Panamanian monkey is lucky enough to enter the Bronze Age after 2.5 million years of development, the threat to humans is zero. Regardless of what kind of human civilization can reach after 2.5 million years of development, just at the current level, the biggest obstacle for human beings to deal with a Bronze Age civilization is the conscience of human beings, which can be referred to the Indians during the Great Migration of the Americas.

If one day humanity goes extinct and these Panamanian monkeys survive, they may be able to evolve into a new civilization over a long period of time.

They will also evolve over time, and soon they will enter the Bronze Age, and they will not threaten humanity because at the same time as they evolve, our technology is also advancing.

It may be in the near future that they will enter the Bronze Age, because they already have a lot of tools. Probably not, because the development of human science and technology is better.

It may enter the Bronze Age in the process of continuous development, and it will not threaten humans, because humans are highly intelligent.

Perhaps entering the Bronze Age in the process of inexhaustible growth does not threaten humans, because humans are highly intelligent.

Do you need to worry about a fart? The movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes still relies on infection with the virus, and it really can't go on without this setting. There is also the Stone Age to learn to use stones??? The monkeys in the circus will ride bicycles, has it entered the age of steam?

Humans don't have to worry, it's superfluous to worry. Although the monkeys of Panama entered the Stone Age, they also stayed in the use of stone tools, and did not create stone tools, such as stone axes, stone benches, etc. Since the advent of human beings, it is impossible for many animals to evolve again, because human intelligence can cope with all bad weather and harsh environments, and animals will no longer have a chance to evolve.

And the monkeys of Panama are not the highest primates, the highest primates are orangutans. Panamanian monkeys can use stone tools, orangutans can walk upright, they can also use stone tools, they can use wooden sticks to repel enemies, and the orangutan has a more joyful and sad expression than a human, and is more intelligent than any other monkey. None of the orangutans' intelligence can evolve again.

Panama's monkey intelligence is even less likely to evolve again. Panamanian monkeys do not affect the position of humans on the planet at all, and it is superfluous to worry.

Using tools and creating tools are two completely different concepts and should not be confused.

Panama's monkeys enter the Stone Age, do humans need to worry?

I don't think there's a need for human concern.

So we can't simply define it as entering the Stone Age, in fact, the Stone Age is a very intelligent era, because at that time, our human beings have already mastered how to use fire to make stone tools, and we know that stone tools are very beautiful, and the practicality is also very strong, at that time we also made jade as accessories to wear or as a tool for sacrificing to the gods, so in that case, our ability is actually very strong, It's not like the monkey like the one now.

So I think the main reason for this situation is that these monkeys need to get some food through stones, in order to get enough food, in fact, there are still a lot of things needed here, the most important thing is to have a sufficient food supply, this is a more important aspect, only these aspects are dealt with, in order to get a relatively sufficient food**, and in all aspects of the situation is sufficient to exercise the sports of the things are also very much, if these things are used, which may take a bit longer.

Of course, humans need to worry, because these animals are likely to slowly replace humans, or even surpass them.

I don't think there's any need to worry about it, even though those monkeys have already started to evolve, we humans have been evolving, so there's no need to worry at all.

You have to worry if the monkeys evolve even more. Then their wit will grab the territory of mankind, and the impact on mankind will be quite large.

Maybe a second civilization will appear after the demise of humans, because monkeys belong to primates, and their IQ is very high, so it is not very strange to use some tools, and there is also human intervention, so there will be no second civilization.

Yes, because I think if we let them develop, they will definitely evolve civilizations.
