Tiago Falótico is a biologist and primatologist, graduated at the University of São Paulo. He got a MSc. and a PhD. in Experimental Psychology (Animal Behavior) at University of São Paulo. He was a posdoc researcher at University of Oxford in the Primate Archaeology project. Now he is a Young Researcher Fellow at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities (University of São Paulo), working on the "Capuchin Culture" project. He founded and works at the Neotropical Primates Research Group (Neoprego), that has the aims of maintain long-term studies on neotropical primates and spread the results of the researches to the general population, specially to the people living around the study sites.

Culture was for a long time believed to be uniquely human. Across primates, culture is known to be present in several species, ranging from object tool use for foraging to social conventions. Chimpanzees have been long studied and there is a long catalogue of their cultural variations, showing that even when ecological and genetic variations are ruled out, they exhibit cultural behavioral…
Culture has long been considered a uniquely human trait, but in other non-human primates, culture has also been recorded and is present in several species. Capuchin monkeys (Sapajus spp.) show a wide behavioral variation, especially with regarding tool-use behaviors, between and within species, but no comprehensive comparison between species and populations has been performed so far. The …

The goal of the "Primate Archaeology" project is to address the systematic comparative study of wild primate technologies, recognition of the time depth and cultural variation among those technologies, and construction of suitable models for relating the evolutionary trajectories of human and non-human tool use. The posdoc will work with two of the three species targets of the project, ca…
