Studying how these nonhuman primates both make and use tools is critical for understanding how humans fossil ancestors may have used and constructed tools. Primates are not alone in having grasping feet, but as these occur in many other arboreal mammals (e.g., squirrels and opossums), and as most present-day primates are arboreal, this characteristic suggests that they evolved from an ancestor that was arboreal.
