There are plenty of things to be learned from studying non-human primates.
The tails curling around a capital, typical of ancient Roman architecture, belong to capuchin monkeys well known also for being destructive foragers.
However, capuchins have not destroyed their environment, whereas humans often did, and still do. Primates can actually teach us much more than preserving the environment: for example, the use of new medicinal plants or raising our children in a more natural way.
Studying them is crucial to understand what made us humans.
