This assignment involves observing non-human primate behavior related to tool use and reflecting on its implications for understanding the human technological niche.Observe another species making and/or using a tool.

  1. Choose a video from the list below (mute the video if needed):
    1. While you watch the video, take observational notes as if you were a primatologist. Be as detailed as possible, as if you are in the forest observing the behavior in real time and you want to share your observations with other researchers including your future self.
  4. After you watch the video, answer the questions in the template and upload it here.

    5. *As always, please be sure to read the rubric before starting the assignment.*

    Criteria Ratings Pts

    This criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeObservational notesDo the observational field notes describe what is happening in the video in a clear and detailed way?

    12 ptsExcellentThe notes are clear and detailed. The notes convey what is happening in a way that can be meaningfully used by the future researcher and shared with other researchers.6 ptsSatisfactoryThe notes are detailed enough for the future researcher to comprehend but others may not understand their notes because they are unclear. Some of the behaviors are not described.
