Abstract
This paper reports on a symposium on “Tool-Use by Nonhuman Primates”, organized by the author, and held in Florence on 5 July 1980. It was one of the satellite symposia commissioned by B. Chiarelli, as part of the VIIIth Congress of the International Primatological Society. It was hosted by the Istituto Italiano di Preistoria e Protostoria. Seven papers were presented, and these will be published together in 1982, as a special issue of the Journal of Human Evolution.
