Darwin discovers toolmaking among primates

Darwin was surprised to find toolmaking among primates on the Galapagos Islands.

This short video taken by one of the sailors on board the HMS Beagle with his cell phone, shows Pepe, a capuchin monkey who was brought aboard the ship, making a tool as Darwin makes his profound discovery. (Darwin is on the left)

(Note: Most phones in the 19th century could only record black and white video with no sound.)
