Correction to: Conformism in the food processing techniques of white-faced capuchin monkeys (Cebus capucinus).

abstract：:When we compare human gestures to those of other apes, it looks at first like there is nothing much to compare at all. In adult humans, gestures are thought to be a window into the thought processes accompanying language, and sign languages are equal to spoken language with all of its features. Some research firmly em...
