Well...
A species of capuchin monkey in Brazil has officially entered the Stone Age. They did so 300 years ago in fact. Not only do they use stone tools, their use of stone tools is evolving. That's a huge leap past pointy sticks.
Kinda cool, kinda scary. From the article I read:
"If the monkeys follow a similar evolutionary process to humans, they will develop nuclear weapons at some point after the year 3,500,000.
We’re glad to report that the nightmare scenario of (another) nuke-crazed ape species running wild on our planet is unlikely to come to pass."
