    Summary

    A bonded pair of hamadryas baboons demonstrated untrained cooperative tool use. The female baboon learned to provide a tool to the male, enabling him to access food.

    Area of Science:

    • Primate behavior
    • Animal cognition
    • Social learning

    Background:

    • Cooperative tool use is rare in non-human primates.
    • Understanding the origins of cooperation is crucial for evolutionary studies.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the development of cooperative tool use in hamadryas baboons.
    • To observe social learning and problem-solving in a bonded pair.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study of a bonded male and female hamadryas baboon pair.
    • Task designed to require inter-individual cooperation for food access.

    Main Results:

    • The male baboon could use a tool to get food but needed the tool from an adjacent cage.
    • The female baboon spontaneously learned to transfer the tool to the male.

  • Cooperation was temporarily affected by the female's estrous cycle.

    • Conclusions:

    • Untrained cooperative tool use can emerge in bonded primate pairs.
    • Social dynamics and reproductive states can influence cooperative behavior.
