Esta [[Inteligência|capacidade mental]], associada a um corpo ereto, possibilitou o uso dos [[braço]]s para manipular [[objeto]]s, fator que permitiu aos humanos a criação e a utilização de [[ferramenta]]s para alterar o [[Meio ambiente|ambiente]] à sua volta mais do que qualquer outra [[espécie]] de [[ser vivo]].
