Yes, we are primates and you are using a tool to ask this very question!
But i'm sure you ment more primitive primates, indeed they do use rocks and sticks...every watched a Tarzan cartoon where the chimps use sticks to collect ants, they actually do that. monkeys use rocks aswell to help crack open nutshells etc...
Yes, like chimps they use tools. They use sticks to get honey out of hives and use leaves and trees as umbrellas. They are one of the most intelligent Primates on the planet.
Primates are the only animals with enough association area (the area of the brain that controls conscious thought, interpretation, creativity, etc.) to be able to be creative and intelligent enough to think of using objects as tools. Primates are not the only one's to use hand tools, ever hear of an otter? They break shells on their stomach by use of a rock. How about rats. The common rat (Rattus) has been seen to use very basic tools in working out minor problems. Many rodents do actually, but it is more common for rats. Some birds also have been seen to use what are considered tools--dropping shellfish from height onto rocks to break them open.
Humans and primates share key similarities such as opposable thumbs, forward-facing eyes, complex social structures, and the ability to use tools. These traits make them the closest relatives in the animal kingdom.
Certain fish are known to use toolsA good few types of bird are known to use toolsMany primates use tools (including man)Certain types of whale and dolphin use toolsElephants are known to use toolsSea otters are know to use toolsCertain octopuses use toolsBears have been known to use toolsAlligators have been known to use toolsSome people also believe they have observed ants using tools.
When you say primates, do You then mean something like cavemen? If You do, I believe that they'll tear it apart in less that two minutes.
It is believed humans evolved from primates.
All chimpanzees are primates but not all primates are chimpanzees. Humans, for instance, are primates.
they use tools
Chimpanzees are arboreal (tree-living) primates. The rainforest provides shelter and sufficient food supplies, and a way to avoid predators. Chimpanzees have excellent climbing abilities and can use their opposable thumbs to grasp and lift objects, and even to use simple tools.
If you mean "Are all mammals primates?" then the answer is no. Primates are a type of mammal. All primates are mammals. Not all mammals are primates. For example, cats, dogs, bears, rodents... these are all mammals, but not primates.
tools!what tools
The answer is tools!
